sometimes, bursts of rain and wind and clear skies and sun and cold all in one day ... at least when the sun is out without the wind it's warm to touch ... it's cold now ... it smells like Spring and the trees (and foliage) are starting to look the part ... did I mention it's cold now?
Spring Dawn, on the way to work this morning, i spotted this composition as the sun was starting to rise. Luckily its the season for always having the camera with me.
winter’s final bed of snow
soon becomes a nectar to grow
with sun and warmth
the bells will ring
singing out
the spirit of spring

I took this crocus macro at Brookside Gardens just outside Washington, DC, last week. The sun was shining and spring was in the air!
Marathon County, Wisconsin
The Dells of the Eau Claire River protects a scenic, narrow rocky gorge and waterfalls where geologic processes have resulted in an unusual tilting of bedrock. The rocky gorge and forested areas are wooded with a northern mesic forest of hemlock, sugar maple, yellow birch, and mountain maple. Canada yew is abundant in dense patches and the spring flora is rich.
Już mam dosyć tego śniegu, więc sięgnęłam po wiosnę do archiwum ;)
I already can't stand this snow outside, so I take some Spring from my archive... ;) This hyacinth grew in a small garden near the building where I live, in the begining of April in 2010.
Hyacinth is the common name for approximately 30 perennial bulbous flowering plants of the genus Hyacinthus (order Liliales, family Liliaceae) of the Mediterranean region and Africa. The common garden Hyacinth, Hyacinth Orientalis, originated in Anatolia and was brought to Europe in the 16th century. The Hyacinth bulb produces a dense, compact spike of flowers, 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) tall. The normal bloom time for Hyacinths is from March to April. Hyacinths have been cultivated commercially since the second half of the 16th century. They became very popular in 18th and early 19th century Europe. The bulbs are now grown commercially in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. In the Netherlands Hyacinths are also grown as cut flowers.
An ancient Greek legend describes the origin of the Hyacinth. Two of the gods, Apollo and Zephyr, adored a handsome young Greek called Hyakinthos. Apollo was teaching Hyakinthos the art of throwing a discus.
Zephyr, who was the god of the west wind, was overwhelmed with jealousy and he blew the discus back. It struck Hyakinthos on the head and killed him. From his blood grew a flower, which the sun god Apollo named after him.
Spring seems to have to battle very hard this year… Piz Aul (3121m) is still deeply covered in snow.

Is it normal for spring leaves to look so much like fall? (Serious question, I'm from LA).

Spring
Designed, folded, and photographed by Alexander Soukas. Folded from one uncut sheet of the artist's handmade paper.
I woke up this morning and was inspired to work out a new design - I knew I didn't want to create something entirely new. I wanted a modification, something in my archives that I can readjust. Breathing life into old designs is always a favorite challenge of mine. I took the autumnal themed, "avalanche" design and made it into this piece. Poetically enough I've had some revelations internally about my past. I learned that creating some new identity was superficial and that any past trauma should be worn not with shame but with pride. This carried into 'spring'. Instead of folding anew I went to the archives, dusted off some old designs and gave it a new shine: a rebirth.

A Spring snow storm has hit the Rio Grande right at the end of my trip. This MRONY was to be my eastbound partner, seen here at Spring Glen the snow would be thick for some time but by the time we reach Sagers we had beautiful sun to go with our chase.
Ya se percibe la explosión de vida de una buena primavera en el sur de España, tendremos que disfrutarla, como este carbonero común ( Parus major)

If the claws aren't imposing enough, I guess this freshwater lobster look-a-like tries to show off his robust form to fend off predators

These Merino ewes and their Border Leicester cross lambs were enjoying a quiet graze when I came by. Fortunately they didn't flee right away allowing me to get a nice shot with my long lens. I had a good talk to the farmer who wondered what I was doing! He told me many of the ewes had given birth to twins. I was pleased to see these ewes hadn't been sheared unlike some I've seen who would be shivering in the Spring cold this last week. Near Lake Eppalock, Victoria.
Croci in our garden is a true signal of Spring for us in Ottawa.

A few weeks ago I was in Sweden, and I was so lucky to have nice warm weather at the beginning of spring. When I arrived the trees hardly had any leaves but 10 days later I witnessed this scene in the town of Skovde. Intense green, and trees blossoming. The colors in this picture seem like coming from a fairytale. Hope you enjoy this.
