I usually don't take photos under the big sun... However the shadows of cherry blossoms here were so attractive that I took out my camera and tried to catch the cherry blossoms along with shadows in springtime! :-)

Was driving to work this morning when I about wrecked looking at this view as I rounded a bend in the road. I just had to come back after work to this spot to see if I could do this scene justice through the lens of my camera. These are wildflowers that just pop up everywhere in Western Oregon this time of year. (Best Viewed Large) :)
Springtime - Vivid colors set ablaze the sky. The fields, poppies and sunflowers bloom, trees start to dress for summer while the hearts beat again.
...treading the slopes of Otley Chevin, as they have done through many generations. The last of the winter grass is now rather insipid, but blossoms are now opening on the trees and the landscape is getting rapidly greener.
One evening, during our Disneyland Paris Magical Moments Events Tour, we were treated to a very magical evening at Parc Disneyland that included "Springtime for Mickey" in Central Plaza, "Disney's Dine Under the African Stars" at Hakuna Matata Restaurant in Adventureland and a very special Magical Moments meet-and-greet on Main Street USA. It was such a magical evening that I actually wept afterward.

In Springtime
"My garden blazes brightly with the rose-bush and the peach,
And the koil sings above it, in the siris by the well,
From the creeper-covered trellis comes the squirrel's chattering speech,
And the blue jay screams and flutters where the cheery sat-bhai dwell.
But the rose has lost its fragrance, and the koil's note is strange;
I am sick of endless sunshine, sick of blossom-burdened bough.
Give me back the leafless woodlands where the winds of Springtime range --
Give me back one day in England, for it's Spring in England now!
Through the pines the gusts are booming, o'er the brown fields blowing chill,
From the furrow of the ploughshare streams the fragrance of the loam,
And the hawk nests on the cliffside and the jackdaw in the hill,
And my heart is back in England 'mid the sights and sounds of Home.
But the garland of the sacrifice this wealth of rose and peach is,
Ah! koil, little koil, singing on the siris bough,
In my ears the knell of exile your ceaseless bell like speech is --
Can you tell me aught of England or of Spring in England now?"
~ Rudyard Kipling, 1865-1936 ~
* koil -- Then Indian bell-bird. I wonder if this is the koel, that I know.
sat-bhai -- Indian starlings.
Though I miss India, I am really enjoying the unfolding Spring in the UK so the poem has echoes of how I felt as I missed the British seasons. This was taken for an out-of-camera challenge for the S5 group (ie. no post processing whatsoever)
Happy Springtime to our Flickr Friends in the Southern Hemisphere!
May there be many sunny days ahead for you all.

The most beautiful spring in many years now is ended but has been a wonderful one, full of pretty small flowers everywhere. Small cameras often gives you the best view.
La primavera más hermosa en muchos años ya ha terminado pero ha sido una maravilla, llena de pequeñas flores vistosas por todas partes. La cámaras pequeñas a veces te ofrecen la vista más atractiva.
