Oooohhhhhh, I love flowers and spring blooms so much. I have way too many photos to choose from. (That's what has taken me so long to post any!)

Finally found a moment to look through my files and share some spring blossoms!

I may come back and switch out one or two of these but we'll see.

2) Virginia Bluebells

3) Tulip top view

I was too lazy to change from my 90mm macro lens so two tulips got a bit of a shave.

I hate to be a "please don't conider theses as entries" person, but this time it must be so. We are going on vacation in a week and a half and the planning is somewhat complex ( a bike trip to France! ) so I've got not time. But I couldn't resist posting a ferw photos because I love the subject so much.

These were all taken on recent bike rides in our city forest.

1) Columbine

2) Wild Iris

3) Thistle

This shot is for context - the site of pictures 2 & 3.

All of the entries so far are so beautiful I very glad I don't have to judge!
