Just returned from an extended trip to Death Valley and will be trying to catch up on the spring blooms. Over the next several months I will mix in some of the images from the trip.

Primrose est ma petite princesse du printemps. J'ai cueilli toutes les pâquerette de mon jardin pour les disposer autour de Prim'! Vous en pensez quoi?

Well, the temperature is about 21°C/69,8°F, sunny but many trees are still brown here where I live.

Those green ones that we can see in the woods are evergreen.

Have a great week ahead, dear friends!

Spring has barely begun, and I am already thinking of the declining abundance of greenery ...

I did follow this butterfly around the garden for a while ;))

Springing rebirth is going on in the garden, although our Belgian Easter has been rainy!!

*** Hope, you have had a wonderful Easter Day!!

I was hunting for early spring blossoms when I spotted this Girl Tree in full bloom ;-) Central Park, New York City.

A delicate little Snakehead Fritillaria photographed at Buxton Park in Indianola, Iowa yesterday.

Developed with Darktable 3.6.0.

Hiding behind a snow mound clicking away with the camera, a cow caribou stares in my direction. These two caribou were part of a herd of about 500 that were traversing Eagle Summit. It was a warm spring day and was nice to be able to photograph without shivering.

With a wide range of elevations, Oregon has some amazing variety when it comes to the spring bloom. A few weeks back the cherry blossoms in Portland hit their peak and last weekend Hood River and the surrounding fruit farms put on a floral show.

As if the stunning mountain fews, blooming trees, and beautiful weather weren't enough....we were also lucky to head out there during the annual artist studio tour weekend with 40+ artists opening their homes/studios to the public. We visited a local painter, pottery and glass artists, and two photographers. There's a great community of artists out in those parts....to go along with all of the natural beauty.

An experiment with the Bokeh on the new lens which replaces the Pentax -M 100mm Macro and TTArtisan 25mm in my kit bag to cut weigh. I like the tight, rounded bokeh circles it produces
