This is an appropriate time to show some images of Augusta National Golf Club where the Masters Tournament is currently underway. The Azaleas and Dogwood trees are just spectacular this time of year. These were taken when I was at the tournament in 2015. Sorry for the late start.

Wow - quite the flower show. That would be almost distracting for playing golf.

I am going with something a bit less expansive for a blooming subject - a rose in Esther Short Park in downtown Vancouver:

Wow you guys make it tough for me to find something worthwhile
But I did spend some time in my yard yesterday photographing some hyacinths that are in bloom.

I tried focus stack but it was windy and only two of these worked. The last one I stoped down and then found the best in the series for dof

Nice bulb blooms - good you went out to shoot these given what might happen this next week. Snow levels in the coast range will drop to 500' by Tuesday and this is headed your way.......

Late to the party but it is still Sunday in my time zone.

 

[JimFox]

I am even later to the party. Mine are from the Alabama Hills earlier this week. Indian Paintbrush I believe.

Nice ones, Jim.

From the garden last Spring. They were growing in our beech hedges so they are probably what some people call weeds and I call pretty. Ken

That is a really nice close-up, Bob. That looks like a poppy. Am I right?

They look like Helleborus - this is a flower my wife grows in our gardens.

A day late to the party!

This afternoon from my rose bush & a trellis roses. After many years of poor treatment, in retirement trying to "connect with them"

Really love the pink dogwoods. In the Yosemite staff housing, there is on cabin that has a pink dogwood tree.
