I'm enjoying looking back on some spring images now that we're in the doldrums of summer. This one was from a couple of years ago. Hawksbill mountain can be seen in the distance over the Carolina Rhododendron.
Some spring bokeh since it's Wednesday. Hope you have a great one!

Edited to say that there's now a before after and recipe on the Flypaper Blog.

Engelse springer spaniel, Flint. Always alert to flushing and retrieving game.
The English Springer Spaniel is a breed of gun dog used for flushing and retrieving game. This springer is a good and healthy example of a working line (UK) It is closely related to the English Cocker Spaniel. I've seen them used as sniffer dogs and it's interesting to see that the way they work is very similar to hunting.

It was nice to see blue skies on this second day of Spring...

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
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.
(by William Wordsworth)
Whenever they bloom, I remember my high school days. My English teacher loved daffodils very much and everyone in the class had to learn to recite this poem.
I have fewer of them this year than usual, the strong March frosts have damaged them a lot.
Sunny blue sky. Wildflowers in bloom. Spring is in the air. What a beautiful day!

This is my new Spring collection of necklaces, ready to go on Etsy and into Galleries. Influenced by blue skies, spring flowers and pastel easter eggs :)
Every spring, melting snow becomes temporary ponds in the fields near Ovid, Idaho. Occasionally a windless morning will create perfect reflections of the Bear River Range of the Wasatch mountains. In a couple of months there will be hay growing here. This was taken in 2006 and scanned from a slide as part of my project to archive my old photos.
The Squirrel's are back and looking in all of the flower pot's for bulb's to eat or looking for their nut's they've buried.

After crawling from his Winter mud home, this painted turtle came out to smell Spring.

I hope that everyone is having a great Tuesday and I hope you don't mind, but I wanted to share a little of Mother Nature's colour & glory.
500mm telephoto /macro @ 2.5 meters
I use the lens for novelty shots because it's a non electronics lens and mounts to my camera with a home made adapted lens mount. (plastic body cap)
It doesn't do to bad and it's just a little something to play with and make work.
Maybe if someone fills my Summer wish list in my profile, I'll get a bunch of new lenses. (Any lotto winners yet?)
as always
BIG HELLO from Ottawa, Canada
