The weather forecast suggestion for today was wrong! In our favour! Warmer and sunnier than expected. I enjoyed lying on the grass, without my winter coat, shooting the six and eight-legged critters that were at work in the garden of a local park.

Every year I promise myself I am going to notice exactly when it is that spring begins. But... what is the sign? What am I supposed to look for?

This is a very large (about seven feet tall and wider than that) that is only a few years old, and which flowered right through the winter this year. Having had a brief rest, it's now flowering again.

White crocus grow from the spring warmth of the sun.

Hard to believe this was only this morning. Eight hours later it started to rain, and is still going.

Spring Garden, Barking Park 2015

I have to credit a fellow photographer for the inspiration for these photos. I added an image I found on here as a favorite yesterday, and fell in love with the gossamer wings that were used. The fairy wing photoshop brush can be found here: kowaresou.deviantart.com/art/Fairy-Wings-Brushes-78492789

A photo I took last Spring quite near my place!

A balmy day today in Vancouver, at least 11C, warmer away from the water. Discovered some lovely Spring blooms on a walk at Deer Lake park in Burnaby.

It's been so spring-like here this week! Puts me in the mood to create lighthearted things.

for this week's photo challenge!!

It was definitely a challenge....our spring has turned into summer already.

Pictures of the Spring Fire that started June 27, 2018 near Fort Garland, CO, Costilla County. It moved east over the Sangre de Cristo mountains into Huerfano County where we live. We have been under Pre-evacuation notice since Friday, 6/28/18. Everything is packed in the van, ready to go if we have to evacuate. Hope not!

Just opened leaves.
