    Finally!!

    Finally it looks and feels like Spring. I was in the backyard to record a few signs of Spring yesterday afternoon.

    Re: Finally!!

    Thanks guys I know there is nothing outstanding here, but I'm just so thrill to have something to shoot again. All these were with the 105 f2.8 macro.

    Second shot really looks like Spring to me - we're not quite that far along but it was sunny and in the 60's here so I'm not complaining!

    Had to hunt for color other than yellow, but it was there in small amounts if I really looked. That bee was one of the most cooperative I ever shot. Maybe his pickings were so slim that he wasn't going to let me scare him away from a great springtime snack.

    Wow those are sharp!

    Some of those water droplets look as if I could wipe them off my screen with my finger.

    Nice to see Spring again.

    Re: Finally!!

    Thanks Mike and Loupey! I was working with out tubes this weekend. I loaned them to a friend that is trying to decide weather he wants to purchase a set or not. I'm sure once he tries them for a few days it will be a no brainier decision for him.

    Re: Finally!!

    Spring is sprung
    The grass is riz
    I wonder where
    The birdies is!

    Heheh! Couldn't resist it. OT - I think these nice photos are very encouraging to us who had a few 70F temps in January - then an early quite chilly Easter - and really, no signs of Spring or any more warm temps yet.

    Your images are awesome. I love the drops on the daffodil. Yellow is my favorite color.

    OT, those are wonderful as usual. For all you Yanks, it was 80* down here yesterday and I've got the sunburn to show for it. We tend to mostly skip Spring (except for the lovely yellow pollen haze coating everything) and go straight to Summer. No complaints from me.
