4. Wowzer, Peggy!

That is awesome!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Thanks so much, my dear UpInArms!

My study is on the second floor and I have a terrific balcony out front. I was out there and I spotted the bud.

I wondered if I could get a photo of it..........and the rest is history!

Mira - seriously wonderful shot!

[Mira]

12. ...

I miss you and your photos
and thanks - I did not know how to name it, because I literally had nothing to do with it.

13. I saw her as Spring come to life - as she dances through that which Winter made dormant, she brings

it back to life. A Spring Goddess caught in action.

I truly love it.

[Mira]

14. I like

"Spring Goddess caught in Action" -- mind if I use it?

[Solly Mack]

It's what I see in the photo.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. OK, I'm in with two.

Wasn't going to enter this time, but, it's raining here and looks like it will be for the next week, so I got to playing with the few spring photos I have this year.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. I wondered where you were! Your photos are exquisite.

[mnhtnbb]

20. Thanks, CalPeggy

I have been feeling quite distracted for the last few weeks. Someone else recently mentioned having a spiritual malaise, and that pretty well describes my feelings, too. Been feeling quite unsettled.

Thanks for your kind words. Didn't have much in the way of spring photos this year. I went out several times to shoot, but wasn't really thrilled with results. Funny how both shots are flowers in front of windows!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. I hope your spiritual malaise lifts.

[mnhtnbb]

23. Thanks.

I do, too. Some of it is personal, but some of it is definitely related to anxiety about the state of things in the country. Time will help the first situation, but I have my doubts about the latter.

22. I'm in for a second pic

[CrispyQ]

24. Spring bee working hard - what a fabulous photo!

I have a big Mexican Sage plant out front, and the bees and butterflies love it.
