Spring beauty with fence for Fence Friday. Hope you and yours are doing good. Thank you for stopping by.
A spring peeper in the warm late afternoon light at Mill Pond. Another new one for the MP species book found by my son Adam. These little guys can really put up a racket on the pond as evening falls, but I have always found them to be difficult to locate. This one could sit on a nickel with room to spare.
This is the other Skimmia, which also produces berrries (I think Skimmia is one of those plants that has male and female varieties). Both have wonderful scent at the moment.

Nikon Z50. 100mm Laowa. F2.8 ISO100 and various shutter speeds to match the light conditions.
From the top left Bugleherb, Wild Garlic, Forget Me Not, Lesser Stitchwort, Dandelion, Red Campion, Bluebell, Archangel and a good old Buttercup.
It is always a miracle how quickly the nature changes every spring to to delicate spring greenness. From today's walk along the shore path.

It's a new cleansing...mother nature is in charge and early spring is a wash.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and fabulous day dear Flickr friends !
I had to stop taking photos a few weeks ago. I wouldn't usually post health stuff but I'm afraid I've had a hemmorhage on the optic nerve on the retina in my right eye and a 'posterior vitreous detachment'. I won't go on but I can see thousands of tiny dots, oil-like streaks and flashing lights in the eye and was told it may be months before things improve, even then not fully.
The consultant said go out and take photos as best you can. It's been a sobering time, a time to reflect on what really matters in life. I've been to the local gardens a few times and taken some shots just using auto focus. I never thought I'd be so grateful just to sit on a bench and look at the beautiful colour all around...the things we take for granted.
Still feeling a bit low but determined not to stay home feeling sorry for myself. I can't spend much time on a screen right now so please excuse me if I don't comment at the moment.
Spring Light, Goor, the Netherlands.
The last remains of mist resulted in beautiful light conditions. So I went to one of my favorite photo locations to make this photo. You will find more photos of the same road in my gallery, shot last winter and last autumn.

The spring snowflakes are becoming rare in the wild in Germany and in many countries due to the fact that their preferred living place: wetlands, mires, swamps, floodplain forests are disappearing.
In Germany it is a strongly protected plant, already on the Red List of endangered plants.
Another factor that "helped" the plant to get onto the Red List is the collectors who had been digging them up for sale or for their own gardens.
Typical of the plant is that 1-2 flowers can be seen per stem and the white petals have an orange, yellow or green spot.
The entire plant is poisonous.
These plants I found in the Maisinger Gorge, near Starnberg. The area is protected, as a water protection area. That means that any activities that can pollute the groundwater are forbidden. The beautziful little city of Starnberg at the Starnberger Lake gains its drinking water from this area.
