It's that time of year when the weather is slowly changing and some mornings you can't tell whether it is still winter or if spring has at last arrived, but the new buds are bursting and soon the land will be covered with green - Yay!!

Spring flowers surrounded by snow. It has snowed since I posted the last picture. Its funny to see snow considering that only about a week ago it was nearly 30C.
About the Photo
*Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS *Lens: EF 50mm ƒ/1.8 II *Shutter Speed: 1/500Sec. *Aperture Value: ƒ/1.8 *ISO: 100 *Focal Length: 50mm (80mm Equivalent in 35mm Film)
I shot this handheld using live-view and manual focus because I didn't want to get my knees wet on the grass by using the optical viewfinder. I overexposed by two stops over the metered exposure. I opened the RAW image in ACR and increased the recovery slider slightly and also increased the blacks slider to make the dark parts of the flowers stand out more. I increased the clarity, and manipulated the tone curve slightly to maintain a high-key feel to it. I slightly saturated the yellows and the greens and opened the image in CS4 where I cloned out a few distracting weeds. I then converted to sRGB colourspace and saved as a JPEG to post online.

Patience is a virtue and I hope to embrace that as I wait for my Spring bulbs to push through the soil. Many shoots are already breaking through the rich loam, although Winter's weather is still willing to share low temperatures. Need I say...I'm counting the days until the garden is a riot of colors once again.
When I was in California two weeks ago, I was able to get in some high altitude hiking. No evidence of spring up there
Spring has arrived at Brambly Hedge, and all of the mice are up early, but one little mouse is up earlier than all, and he is up to no good....
This lovely small collectible porcelain plate by Royal Doulton was made in England and features the escapades of the Brambly Hedge resident as captured by Jill Barklem in the 1980s.
Everything about this meadow and the tree lined hills above were so colorful. This image was tweaked using Topaz Impressions and Photoshop.
Mule Deer enjoys early breakfast while mighty Yosemite Falls roar on background, captured before sunrise. Spring in the air.
Spring time
For me, its not spring until I visit a few waterfalls! Its been a dry year in the PNW and around this time of the year water level is usually much higher.

Snowy Spring Daffodils
The snow returns overnight. some flowers were standing tall, others were bent over touching the snow on the ground.
A sudden cold snap and a few inches of snow overnight.
This was shot in the garden and exposed in camera for a "white out". The daffodil was bent over, so I just shot it from behind against the snow, remembering to keep my footprints out of the snow in front of the flower!
It is disappearing quite rapidly as the day warms up.
Spring Is Here
Once there was a thing called spring
When the world was writing verses like yours and mine
All the lads and girls would sing
When we sat at little tables and drank May wine
Now April, May and June
Are sadly out of tune
Life has stuck a pin in the boat
Spring is here
Why doesn't my heart go dancing?
Spring is here
Why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire
No ambition leads me
Maybe it's because nobody needs me
Spring is here
Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear
Why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here, I hear
Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here, I hear ..........
Spring in Beacon Hill Park in Victoria, Vancouver Island. You have to come to Vancouver Island to see how beautiful spring and summer is here...I can assure you that you would love it!
No need for an ice breaker, the mild and windy conditions this past week have opened up most of the St. Lawrence. The ice is jammed into this bay but the main channel is open. Shouldn't be long before we go for our first Spring paddle!
