Great set of the spawn, Dennis. : )

Soon those parks will be alive with frog sounds. Quite the polpulation explotion if you ask me. I can't say if it'll be good for the ears of the local park-goers or not.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Driek, : )

Welcome to PhotoClubAlpha forums.
Nice captures of the fresh face of Spring. That's one good lens indeed. Very nice exposures and backgrounds.


Thanks for sharing,

Yildiz

A neat alternetive to the meaning of spring, Frank. :)

Lots of fresh air and freshness on icy land.

Without commenting long and much, I'll suffice to say that I'll be back with the poll arrangement soon.

In the mean time, if anyone wishes to submit any other images, please feel free. :D It's already Labour Day in this part of the world, so let's give the hard workers/enthusiasts of photography a little extra time in the shape of a day...

Thanks all,

Yildiz

Sorry I'm Late.

Just to make up the numbers, here are some bees, bringing in the spring nectar/pollen...

:D That's one great spirit in the Pollen-Loaded-Bees shot, Harveyzone.

Nicely captured since it probably is very, very hard to get so many in one frame.

Congratulations.

Yildiz

Thanks Yildiz/Frank - much appreciated. It is actually easier than you think if you have a hive in the garden. :-) You can sit near the entrance and watch them come and go for hours. It just takes a lot of patience, a large card in the camera, and a lot (and I mean a lot) of wasted shots.

Hi everyone, : )

Thanks to your votes we have two winners: Dierk and Harveyzone.

Dierk by his 'Spring' shot and Harveyzone with his equally apt photo titled 'Bringing In The Spring Nectar/Pollen'

They both got equal amounts of votes and share the spotlights.

I'd like to thank each one of you who participated in submitting photos or voted to determine the winning parties.


See you all in other challenges.

Yildiz


Here is where you can find the winners:
