celebrations

Passover, Easter, spring, birthdays, snow, births, passings.  All things that we humans celebrate.  Nature opens and gives us gifts with which to commemorate, such as these narcissus.

In the first photograph, snow is apparent in the lower right hand corner, a welcome sight on the dry mesa.

As a photographer, I have always appreciated even overcast for shooting environmental portraits, but that same sky is also excellent for flower closeups, providing a most interesting backdrop.

Thanks to Ingrid and Robert for these lovely spring surprises!

pieces make the whole

Nearly four weeks beyond the vernal equinox, evidence of spring is becoming more apparent on a daily basis.  Even at elevations above 7,000 feet, fruit trees and bulbs, both wild and domestic, are beginning to bloom, leaving behind a riot of color and textures.

Daffodil bulbs are some of the first to emerge from the ground, blooming soon after.  The bits and pieces that comprise the daffodil flower are today's study.

Life presents endless opportunities for photography at any place or any time, but in the spring, the increased daylight and warmth raise the spirit.  It is a great and varied time to take your camera out and discover the world again.

until next Monday,
