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,

A big hello from me too Dierk. Very lovely shots, specially the second.

Spring in the north of Quebec :

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. 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...

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.

Very nice work ! This is very not an easy shot, good technique !

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.
