Excellent choice for a task 
Nice choice for examples too - I love magnolia blooms. I like your trillium blooms too.

My version of spring is seeing all the potted plants for sale in front of a grocery store I frequent.

Beautiful blooms Alan! It’s nice that a convenient location also provides an opportunity for such colorful images! Love the blue eyed daisies image—my favorite. I didn’t know this variety existed!

Thanks John - I'm never quite sure what to expect in the racks near the entrance doors as they are often varieties I never heard of before either. Taking pictures of them is a lot cheaper than buying them
A couple of spring images.

Jameel, I agree tulips are synonymous with spring—and a beautiful and well composed image too! I like the “crop top.” I also like the cherry blossoms composition you’ve shared (thank you)—nice view with the petals across the lawn and walk.

Wonderful spring captures, Jeffrey! Beautiful cloudscape above the colorful blossoms below in your first image—very nice! I love the layers in your second very beautiful spring landscape—love this composition! Thank you for sharing both of these images.

Spring tends to be slow in coming. Our apple trees haven't started to bud yet, far less blossom. However this year's lambs have started to appear and I have started to go out on my bicycle so that makes it Spring. Ken

It looks as though the lambs and their mothers are posing for their portrait—love the mood, light, and layers of color captured in this image. Thank you for sharing this Ken.

A beautiful variety of colorful blossoms you’ve shared—thank you, Larry. I especially favor the second and fourth images but all are well composed—the nice out of focus backgrounds work well.Hi John, here are a few spring flowers from my archive: I am very much anticipating the arrival of spring!
