I had to stop taking photos a few weeks ago. I wouldn't usually post health stuff but I'm afraid I've had a hemmorhage on the optic nerve on the retina in my right eye and a 'posterior vitreous detachment'. I won't go on but I can see thousands of tiny dots, oil-like streaks and flashing lights in the eye and was told it may be months before things improve, even then not fully.
The consultant said go out and take photos as best you can. It's been a sobering time, a time to reflect on what really matters in life. I've been to the local gardens a few times and taken some shots just using auto focus. I never thought I'd be so grateful just to sit on a bench and look at the beautiful colour all around...the things we take for granted.
Still feeling a bit low but determined not to stay home feeling sorry for myself. I can't spend much time on a screen right now so please excuse me if I don't comment at the moment.
Many Thanks to the +16,225,000 visitors of my photographic stream

Spring Light, Goor, the Netherlands.
The last remains of mist resulted in beautiful light conditions. So I went to one of my favorite photo locations to make this photo. You will find more photos of the same road in my gallery, shot last winter and last autumn.
LA: Leucojum vernum

The spring snowflakes are becoming rare in the wild in Germany and in many countries due to the fact that their preferred living place: wetlands, mires, swamps, floodplain forests are disappearing.
In Germany it is a strongly protected plant, already on the Red List of endangered plants.
Another factor that "helped" the plant to get onto the Red List is the collectors who had been digging them up for sale or for their own gardens.
Typical of the plant is that 1-2 flowers can be seen per stem and the white petals have an orange, yellow or green spot.
The entire plant is poisonous.
These plants I found in the Maisinger Gorge, near Starnberg. The area is protected, as a water protection area. That means that any activities that can pollute the groundwater are forbidden. The beautziful little city of Starnberg at the Starnberger Lake gains its drinking water from this area.

A stretched spring on mountboard.
The image was taken outside on a sunny day in the UK, which helped to produce some deep shadows. I've boosted the contrast to give the photo an illustrative/abstract look.
For the 'Macro Mondays' - 'Hard Light' challenge, 18th February 2019.
More of my darker Magnolia. Deep pink on the outside, the petals are a dazzling white inside apart from the base.

I warned everyone, now here is a long series on the spring snowflakes.
Found them along the edges of the bog called Langer Filz, along the creek called Lindenbach. In the nature reserve, called Murnauer Moos, Bavaria, Germany.

Spring is in there somewhere! Little by little the snow is continuing to melt. The Crocus in my back yard are doing their best to bloom through the snow.
Used Photoshop to apply highlights.
