I think that no matter how old or infirm I may become, I will always plant a large garden in the spring. Who can resist the feelings of hope and joy that one gets from participating in nature’s rebirth? -Edward Giobbi


The trees are greening, flowers are sprouting beginning to bloom and the wonderful inhabitants of the garden are starting to return . Spring what a glorious time.

Your comments, nits, crits and suggestions are most appreciated.

I do hope you find something to enjoy .

Thank you for looking,

Birdie

Lovely set! Nice to see the colors of spring starting to pop. I really like #7. To me you hit the sweet spot in terms of getting the key parts of the moth and flower within the depth of field. I also like the somewhat subdued quality of the colors, as if the greens keep a lid on the yellows. Bright but still very easy to view. Harmonious. #1 is strong as well though I think the pink petal underfoot is a little too bright for my taste. #2 is quite pretty. A subtle approach. I might darken the leaf just over its head to better match the others as it draws my eye from the bird. Very nice pinks in the background. The colors and composition of the gerber daisy are excellent. I think a tighter focus on the yellow center might have helped as that, to me, is the subject within the subject. I can never stop down enough to get these complexities all clear at these macro distances. I do not stack but I do like to try different focal points and pick and choose later. Excellent work! Inspiring. I hope I can find some suitable subjects in my neck of the woods.

Great spring images, Roberta

We are still at least one moon away from butterflies and stuff.

Birdie,

Up to your usual standard. The harmonious colours in the first one work very well.

We have a few pollinators (including the first Bee Flies yesterday) on our Damson blossom but the apple and pear buds are about to burst open. I hope the local beekeeper is not moving his honeybees away, as he did at this time last year.

Instant joy here, Birdie! What a pleasant kickoff to the season of life and growth! It's a very enjoyable set and a great reminder there is beauty and wonder all around us if we take the time to notice and appreciate it.

That katydid nymph is quite the poser!

Nice set; thanks for posting and Happy Spring.

Fabulous work as always Roberta. In the first there is a tiny bit of very bright flower intruding on the left frame and you might want to address that. I love seeing your dragon fly in flight image and am always amazed to see you regularly get images of insects in flight.

Lovely shots Roberta! I'm glad you have had some nice weather. We've been traveling east through Tennessee and North Carolina and have not seen many signs of spring yet.
