With the arrival of spring on the island I decided to head up to Jeju University with the hopes of getting a few unique pics of people enjoying the warm weather and blooming flowers.
I should have known better as there were cliches everywhere. A young woman throwing petals into the air as her boyfriend cheered her on and clicked away with his camera. A young teen cupping her hands around her face and tilting her head as her friends took her picture, pink flowers everywhere behind her. The atmosphere was great and the images I saw were cute but not something I was interested in photographing.
Then, as the sun began to set and I rounded the corner of the street my car was parked on, I came across this older woman walking slowly down the path in front of me. She must have been about 70 years old and she was clearly enjoying the first hints of spring after a very long winter. The golden light falling down on her was beautiful and the colorful flowers and young woman in the background were framing the scene perfectly.
Suddenly, she turned around and, despite her age, leaped up into the air and grabbed a handful of blossoms. Satisfied, she turned around and slowly headed back down the path.
Spring has arrived.

Martonvásár, back of Brunszvik Mansion.
Built from 1773 to 1775, the baroque mansion was reconstructed in the early 1870's in neo-gothic style.The earliest record of Martonvásár appears in some charters in 1270. After the Turkish occupation, the Brunszvik family became owners of the settlement, built their mansion here and established a booming economy. The landscaped parkland around their mansion is still among the most beautiful in Hungary.
Outstanding cultural memories are attached to the Martonvásár mansion, the Beethoven Memorial Museum, and its surrounding park. In the early years of the 19th century Ludwig van Beethoven visited Martonvásár on a number of occasions due to his friendship with the music-loving Brunszvik family, who owned the estate. A number of his works, including the Appassionata Sonata, were dedicated to members of the family, who were inspired interpreters of his music. The Beethoven concerts held in the park since 1958, generally on three occasions each summer, are now a national event. The home of these concerts is an open-air theatre on an island in the lake. Talented musicians from Hungary and abroad are accompanied at these memorable concerts by the National Philharmonic Orchestra.
The sonata, which Beethoven dedicated to Theresa Brunszvik:

This is little Fern Spring along the road into Yosemite Valley. Such a tiny little spring, but so beautiful surrounded by all the fall leaves and moss covered rocks. I stopped several times to photograph this spot. I thought this shot gave the best perspective.
I had anticipated this Brown Pelican's takeoff, and when I checked the shot I was amazed to see the big hole in the water, even the webbed foot that helped create it. These beautiful birds lead a rough life, even more so recently. In the past I've volunteered in their rescue, once driving a truckload some 200 miles to a wildlife care center. I lost 6 enroute, delivering 18 to the care they required. I always felt I failed, losing so many, due to the over 100 degree heat and the birds standing atop any others that could not keep their heads up. There were so many sick birds then (from a botulism outbreak), causing us to be short-handed vlunteers. So I had no one to sit with them to prevent trampling while I drove.
The brown pelican at one point faced extinction. In 2009, the brown pelican was removed from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife due to recovery... based on a review of the best available scientific and commercial data; but the brown pelican remains protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

This was a handheld shot at night (I forgot to carry the Tripod), and this was the best I could do.

When I'm sitting all alone in my room
Everything reminds me of you ..
The time is slow and I am sinking
Into a hole blackened with lies ..
And though I made it myself
You stand watching as my life passes me by ..
I'm standing before you ..
With this label on my head ..
I'm pleading before you ..
For you to understand ..
How much I adore you ..
I'll be there til the end ..
When everything falls down ..
Will you hold my hand?!!!! ..
