Lens-Artists Challenge #105: Spring
~~~
Except for the errant March (or April!) snow storm that rears its ugly head here in the US northeast, Spring changes my world from black and white to Color. Remember the scene in The Wizard of Oz? Almost like that.
The dull grays and browns and monochromes begin to fade. Colors start appearing in the tiniest of places. Since I’ve dived into macro photography, I am noticing these hidden gems.


Once Spring bursts onto the landscape full time, technicolor takes over…including my favorites…
And let’s not forget the gardeners among us…who look forward to the long awaited beginning of the growing season.
It’s the time of year to carefully nurture life…from seed to plant. And once the harvest arrives…a welcome addition to the dinner table.

Lovely photos!! 🥰

Lovely! I so love the street lamp and the little gardener! My oldest dog has a kennel name with Giardiniere (gardener), and he loves digging everything up…

Thank you! Dogs do love to dig. This particular gardener’s dog fortunately did not disturb this garden 🙂
