I'd like to blow up this picture and paste it over my apartment window so I would not have to look at the wintry scene outside... three days from April and now we are told that the cold weather will last at least until the middle of April. The color really grabs my eyes and brings me to my knees and with a black background the picture is exactly like looking through a window. Keep these images coming Ruth... really appreciate them to bring some light and color to another gloomy day north of border up Canada way.

Lovely. I can hear the bees.

Oh, I really like what you have done with the colors and light on this one! Vibrant and so alive, it gives one hope after yet another 6 inches of snow here in the last couple of days!

Beautifully done, Ruth. The colors of spring and the coolness of the beginning of the season. The tree is placed just right in the image.

Very interesting photo. Here, in Malta, it is already Spring but unfortunately it lasts for only a short period of time because soon everything will dry up due to our long hot summer.

Stunningly gorgeous! The tree is a great background for the lovely flowers.

The loupine State Flower of Maine. June is when I get up there and that is when they are in full bloom. I have tried to get some good pictures of this beautiful flower but always found it difficult. This shot works great due to the wonderful background.

Very nice to see the lovely shades of blue/mauve. The forest setting is pleasing too.

We've got sunshine and -20C. Not a spring day!

Nicely done--as usual--Ruth!

Gorgeous. Love the fresh look. It has the feel of a garden just after a Spring shower.

So beautiful, Ruth. I love the way it makes me want to just sink down among the flowers and lie back and take a nap or just look up into the boughs of the tree and daydream. Wonderful
