While waiting for my son’s kayak to run the rapids past me on the Chilliwack River, British Columbia, Canada, this large Spring salmon jumped out of the water with a hook in its mouth. The angler, with his family nearby, caught their limit that morning. Not long after this photo the kayak appeared.
Sparkling blue sky, cottonwoods leafing out, horseback riders along an irrigation ditch -- all say spring in Corrales, NM.
Just got back after being away at work for the last couple of weeks, and I'm thrilled see that spring has sprung and that the sun is finally shining bright again! Will do my best to catch up with all you Flickr-friends as soon as possible!
The sunset light was so beautiful in my back yard last night that I grabbed my 50mm f/1.4 and put it on the camera and headed out to capture these newly-bloomed beauties back-lit and drenched in Spring light.
Find this and many more flower photos in my Flower Gallery.
As Winter approaches my garden has very few flowers so I am posting a shot taken last Spring!
Feliz Quinta Flower!
those beautiful spring, 60-70 degree days never last long enough for me. in no time at all i will be complaining about the heat.
It snowed on the first day of spring in Maryland, but the temperature wasn't cold enough and the snow turned into rain.
I can't WAIT for spring tho....🌸

Something a bit different today. These are tremendous fun to do and don't require all the props that most of my shots contain. A nice bit of driftwood, something to act as a background (this is a tile 'sample' bought from a large tile retailer). A variety of spring flowers, from the garden — although wildflowers would have worked just as well. Whilst this is shot with a DSLR, it could just as easily been taken with a phone camera as they're great for top down pics. There's quite a lot of work done in post processing, mainly combining dark and light exposures to make everything more moody than a single shot would achieve.
I've got myself a case of spring fever. The warm weather yesterday was simply irresistible.

Happy SPRING, everyone! I wanted a colourful image to post today, in contrast with my main photo, which shows a winter scene that would more accurately describe today, the first day of spring. Taken at the Calgary Zoo on 9 April 2013, I noticed this male Goldeneye swimming on a small pond there, glowing with spring-time colour created by the reflections from the nearby children's climbing frame : ) Looking out of my window this morning, though, one would never guess that today is the first day of spring. The wind is blowing the heavily falling snow horizontally and I suspect that my planned errands for today might not get done after all.
I finally have my new COMPUTER up and running (kind of) after four weeks of total computer stress, complicated by the computer store mess-up, and surgery. Now I am discovering "the good, the bad and the ugly" of Windows 7! Definitely, the"ugly" would apply to the inability to manually rearrange photos in the order you want / need them!!! I am totally amazed and horrified that you can't do this. I searched the Internet and found forums full of endless complaints about this ridiculous issue, many going back to 2010. So, they still haven't changed it, after all this time. I would have thought it would be such a simple thing for Microsoft to change. Every time I want to find a photo, I have to look through many dozens, or more likely many hundreds, of tiny photo icons, trying to find the one photo I need. I would say that being able to arrange photos in the order I (and most photographers, no doubt!) need is one of the most important, necessary functions, so this is not good. If anyone has discovered a way to get round this or has any ideas to make it easier, I would LOVE to hear from you!
Hey Everyone - Sorry for my absence from Flickr. I've been spending all of my time on Instagram. To be honest, I haven't even used my Canon for photos much. I've got my trusty iphone with me at all times. It's just easier to carry and I can instantly edit with photo apps. I'll try to come around more often now that spring is almost here. I'm so anxious to get out for some photos. Thanks for following me and I hope everyone is doing well. :)
Walking around in the nice weather today I came upon a large field of hepaticas on a wooded hill. Nature is really springing into life here in Sweden.... finally
Keeping a horse's head in the right position helps the animal finding her balance, a necessity when springing.
Another shot from the “Spring Angel” series. Different angle this time. I decided to upload this one as well, since originally I could not choose which one I preferred.
During the spring and early summer, it's not just the milk van that will wake you early - it's dawn chorus time again. From March to July, those feathered alarm clocks are at it again, as they defend their territories and sing to attract a mate.
Our songbirds time their breeding season to the warmest part of the year, when there is plenty of food and lots of daylight in which to find it. As winter turns to spring, the lengthening daylight switches male songbirds into breeding mode
Back to work - and the homestretch of the last 6 weeks of the school year!
Here's another of Frontenac Falls and the beautiful Hepatica (Liverworth) growing nearby.
Happy Monday!
Virginia Spring-beauties (Claytonia virginica). Flood plain of the Patuxent River. Patuxent Research Refuge, Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
Ah, the first rhubarb of the year — it's been kept covered with a large pot, 'forcing' it, so it's grown beautifully pink and tender. So fresh and delicious and a real taste of Spring.
Yesterday, was a wonderful sunny day for the Spring Equinox! I had to get out to see what was blooming and found these frilly yellow trumpeters of spring in my side yard. :-D These warm my heart.
I borrowed this from William Wordsworth, I hope you all enjoy!
"The Daffodils"
"I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A Poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils."
At the moment, in the middle of May, spring is like autumn in Holland. This is to keep up the mood.

Baltzell Spring is located just over a mile upstream on the Chipola River from Florida Caverns State Park. It is without a doubt one of the most stunning springs I've ever been able to witness. Though it contains a deep spring head, much of the area surrounding it is very shallow, and is filled with vibrant green underwater foliage, which is brought out fairly clearly by my polarizer.

A small lesser-known waterfall somewhere tucked away in the Mt. Baker Wilderness within the North Cascades of Washington State. This was taken during one of my first waterfall outings this Spring right after a few days of steady rainfall. I was on a sort of mission to explore some areas that are rarely photographed. This was one that Ryan and I were lucky enough to shoot after a failed attempt searching for a different waterfall, only to find closed off access to the road heading in its direction. While this one isn't anything incredible or impressive by any means, I really enjoyed the pristine mossy surroundings and being able to take a dip up to my thighs in the cool water while photographing....it made for a nice overall experience.
I'm looking forward to getting back out again soon, as the greens are really popping out there right now in Washington and Oregon. Being able to explore the lush green forests during the Spring is one of the many reasons I love living in the Pacific Northwest.
In winter and early spring in the high desert, when the rains are heavy, the rainwater runs deep and swift along the Mojave Riverbed beneath the timbers of the Rocksprings trestle. Some of the twigs, branches, and other debris awash in the running water invariably snag among the trestle's old columns, the timbers acting like a giant sieve. The wealth of sifted debris left behind after the water recedes, seen here, stands as testament to both the river's force in dragging the debris into the current and to the old trestle's resilience in bringing it to rest.
Camera: Univex Iris (1938, with Vitar 50mm f/7.9 lens). The Iris is an Art-Deco styled, cast-metal camera with adjustable aperture, fixed shutter speed, and fixed focus. Its native film is Universal No. 00, a proprietary film manufactured for the camera's maker, Universal Camera Corp., by Gevaert in Belgium. 00 film featured six 28 x 38 images per roll, and at 32mm wide was just slightly narrower than 35mm film. Universal filed for bankruptcy in 1952 and closed its doors in 1964, so there has been no new 00 film for the Iris and other early Universal cameras for several decades.
Film: I have read of people cutting down 120 film to make 00 film, but because 32mm is an odd width, one would have to develop it in open trays and likely make a special film holder for scanning. I decided instead to use the next smaller film size, 16mm or 110 film. I made 00 backing paper by cutting down 120 film backing paper. 00 film's image length is nearly the same as that of 828 film (00's image is 38mm long, 828's is 40mm), so I used my 828 backing paper template (www.pheugo.com/cameras/index.php?page=spool828), cutting it slightly narrower for the 00 spool (32mm rather than 828's 35mm), and reducing the length from 828 film's eight image length to 00's six. When cutting down 120 film for 127 film cameras, there is a strip of film about 15mm wide left over; I used one of these strips to roll up in the backing paper. I used my accustomed 100 ISO Arista.edu Ultra film, developed in Arista Liquid Developer for 8:15 minutes @ 65 degrees, and scanned with an Epson V600 scanner. This was my first time developing and scanning 110 film—thanks to my Flickr friend Nyms for her insight on the Yankee Clipper developing tank!
