Well the calendar says it's spring, but the mountain says it isn't.

Took this yesterday. : )

As seen this morning in April showers.

Not what you expected from the nature-guy, eh? :p

You're the man! That's a Spring Color photo if I've ever seen one!

Now I want lavender resin chairs for the deck.

Not the best composition on earth, but I love the watery sunlight and the little shadow on the leaf it kicked up.

Beautiful shots everyone! I am loving the colors! I am really shooting every chance I get, nice break from the bikes and cars for me :)

Lori those are some great colors of Spring!

Thanks! All but the 3rd one were shot in my yard! It has been a beautiful spring. This is a grear thread too, I am loving all the shots :)

Two more. Still playing with the Lightroom 3 beta 2 release, thus the watermark for reference.

really nice stuff from everyone, but must say I was REALLY impressed with all the shots that Iguanamom has posted - spectacular shots!

This isn"t from the Spring, but I thought this would be the place for it.

Here is a little different color. Most Iris seem to have more brilliant color than this one.

The subtle range and the orange accent in the middle make a gorgeous bloom. Wonder if this was one of those 'expensive' iris? The last flower catalog I shot that was for two season ago had similar at over $30 each for plants.

Thanks for sharing this one. The iris have really been blooming here early this year!

thanks jetrim, I do try. here's one from the other day, some trout lilies and a purple trilium who was crashing their party.

Well here is one I had put in the critique forum awhile ago:

Here are a few i took this Spring. Is it strange to carry your camera and tripod up to a Garden center and start snapping pictures? =) It would save me a lot of money.

Into every one's spring a little YELLOW must fall.

or perhaps Lavender, the color, not the flower. A wet weekend but that doesn't stop me.

and 'new' color for me this Spring; let's call this Salmon?

those pink irises are really something, drg.
Here's one from before I went to California for a week. May, btw, is fantastic for flowers in CA. They've cornered the market on them. The proliferation and variety are mind-blowing. But I'm still working on them so this will have to do for now. It's a humble lily from my garden.

Finally got to do a little shooting last Saturday but remind me not to take the dog when I go again.
Common phlox is blooming all over the place right now.

Spring is more then flowers. BASEBALL!
