c'est enfin le reveil de la nature !
Mary MacADNski: We welcome spring!
Does that mean your snow has finally gone Mary because this looks very full of new life as you suggest.
Mary MacADNski: There is still some around in shady areas like on the other side of the pond from here.

It's like summer here now.. forecast to be 68 deg F/20 deg C tomorrow. My weeds are shooting up.
Mary MacADNski: Oh, my! That is wonderful. It was a high of 7 here today. Very nice.
Hooray! We have a tiny pond full of frog spawn!
Mary MacADNski: The frogs are an important part of my ecosystem. I love them here.
Nice one, Mary - just a few weeks and it will be standing tall I guess.
Mary MacADNski: It certainly doesn't take long once it all gets started. The pond is a good place.
Superb light Mary. Lovely image
Mary MacADNski: Quite bright and hard to handle.
yaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy smile
Mary MacADNski: About time, eh?
An abstraction completely natural.
Mary MacADNski: Finally, spring!
Great light on this, such a bright day.

And it looks so fragile right now... nice DOF on your close-up Mary....petersmile
Mary MacADNski: A little overexposed but just to see the sunshine working it's magic, who cares?
Such a wonderful crisp and clear capture. The green grass popping up tells a wonderful story of new life and the beginning of a new season. Enjoy Spring !!!
Mary MacADNski: Thank you. It is my favorite season.
