and Spring outside in downtown 'Cuse

Oh...I love the colour...
Kelly...soft and lovely...you make flowers seem ethereal... love those shots.
Champy....I especially like that GREEN grass and lovely flowers...worthy of Wordsworth's "...crowd...a host of golden Daffodils"

I too can't resist going out into my backyard to capture these sudden bursts of colour the past few days...so early...so welcome.

Ohhhh! I can't get enough of these photos. Nice ones Mikell and Matt!! The non-flower ones are sweet!
A few more from the yard today. The first thing I wanted to do after getting home from a long, wacky day......was see what was new in the yard! One of the most soothing things I know of. (Though ginger tea with honey comes pretty damn close.)

All were taken with a lens I haven't used in a long time.
Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM

Itsy bitsy redbuds buds

Red maple "flowers" on an old watering can


Yoshino cherry blossoms - the very same type you'd find in DC

Baby chicks in a pretty clay basin - if anyone wants to grow some, let me know. I have tons to give away.

Lilac buds. My prediction for bloom time is late in the first week of April. What?!
