Another sign of spring.

THANK YOU FOR VISITING. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITIQUE [& PRAISE :-) ] WELCOME.

*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.

If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!

A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Yes, these are sure sign of spring and always look so proud to pop their heads up like this. I guess they been planning it for 12 months!

Beautiful shot - the colors and details are just great, and I like the composition as well. It is so nice to have more colorful things to take pictures of with spring here!!

I agree with Susan. The crispness of the image really adds to the feeling of vibrancy and spring.
