Spring time in the Sierra Foothills. I took this image last year. Hopefully the wildflower bloom will be as good this year.

In a spring fever I headed off to a local camera store to lift the spirits after all the recent snow and rain and generally dreary weather. A few dollars later I emerged triumphant clasping a Tamron AF 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD...no trip to the doctor required.

Tested this out around town today and it's so much sharper than the 18-135mm kit lens that I bought with my D80 several years ago.

Here's Mr & Mrs Cardinal on my deck sharing their dinner. It's true love. I know they've been together for 7 years at least. They are so sweet.

If you like the techie stuff I shot this at the maximum focal length of 270mm at an aperture of f/6.3. Not quite with the sun directly in front of me but pretty close, so the exposure was adjusted down -1.3. I'd expect the sharpness to fall off a little at the maximum focal length but I was pleased with what I got at 200 ISO and with the camera set on aperture priority / matrix metering. Next time I'll shoot on shutter priority as these birds move around quickly.

spring is here!!!!!!!!!!

I've got some engagement pictures today and I can't wait!!! engagement's are my favorite! and thank goodness the sun came out so we can have nice and warm photos! : )

It might not be spring officially yet, but today feels like it.

“When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest. The only thing that could spoil a day was people and if you could keep from making engagements, each day had no limits. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.”

Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

Saturday Self Challenge

In this challenge, photograph signs of Spring for those living in the Northern hemisphere, and for members who live in the southern hemisphere, Autumn.

Spring, sunny skies and flowers appearing everywhere along the South West Coast Path. The gorse is in bloom and everything is turning green and lush again. Only a chill wind blowing off the sea reminds you that it is spring and not summer, not the sort of day to be heading off out without some warm clothing.

Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

Nothing says spring like a waterfall surrounded by lush green woods. Don't remember the name, but this was taken shortly after the previous post

First sign of spring in Rhode Island, March 2016.

Very pretty flowers in the spring sunshine at the Briggs Nursery in North Attleboro, Massachusetts.

Well, this was a much more encouraging result!

This was from the first roll of APS film I've shot and had developed in 2022 that didn't turn out shitty. In fact, for expired film, I'd say the roll turned out pretty much perfectly. The colors are almost true-to-life; most pics don't have any light bleeding, and it goes to show that my Canon EOS IX Lite isn't useless, and that my Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L lens isn't useless for APS film photography. It goes to show that the quality of the expired film (the one variable I don't have control over) is by far the most important factor in how useable a developed photo is.

This was also my first roll of AGFA film, which I ordered from a shop in Portugal, so I'm impressed with that!

Camera: Canon EOS IX Lite

Lens: Probably my Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L, but possibly my Sigma EX DG 50mm macro.

Film: AGFA, ISO 200

Expiry: 2004.

Being an optimist can be a challenge, but I'll forever have hope for our world and its inhabitants. "Expect to have hope rekindled. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again."

Sarah Ban Breathnach

“The beauty of winter is that it makes you appreciate spring.”

― L.M. Montgomery

For me, Photographic Impressionism explores the playful, poetic possibilities of light stirred up with my emotional response to color, line, and pattern, yet can easily become just another belt-notched technique if I fail to explore the metaphors outside the forest.

Spring is life

Spring is hope

So is love and happiness.

Spring renews.

Without spring,

life is forlorn.

Spring is nostalgia

after bitter storm.

Put spring in your heart.

The sun was out and so were the spring flowers!

With the cooler weather, I am going through some of my pictures from this spring. Always exciting to find the male Summer Tanager all decked out and looking for a bride.

A Daffodil in the Spring Sun.

The water comes from a spring to power the mill near Mitchell, Indiana. A quarter mile waterway course connects the spring to the mill. Unique being this far north in that it never freezes. The mill opened in 1817 with the limestone supports quarried locally.
