Spring has sprung here in northern California a while ago.

That's as warm an orange colour as the flaming colours of a sunrise or a sunset, Sury.

Amazing bloom with scattered pollen.... Certainly signs of Spring. : )


Thanks for sharing,

Hi everybody- It has been a long time since I've participated in a challenge. Judging by the great photos by everybody the competition should be close. Here is my humble entry. a200 and 70-200G. Ellie was busy rolling around in the dirt, so I started to look for other targets. :lol:

Sury,

Your garden is full of flowers that are reminiscent of Californian colours; very bright and vivid orange there. : )



John,

That's a very sweet Spring scene. As Sury said, it's cheerful and nicely composed. : )




Dr. Harout, : )

A 'blushing' debut for Spring from your location indeed. A tulip shy of becoming a full blossom with an incredible colour...



Thanks for sharing all,

Yildiz

Thanks for the kudos guys-
Spring brings not only new flowers, but new creatures as well. Here is a mother trying to hide her new brood from my camera.

Nice pics, we have a few weeks left before the eggs start hatching up here.
