Utah Spring
Mar 25, 2020 15:43:53 #
Woke up this morning and found that Utah does not let numbers on a calendar dictate the season. A wet heavy snow was falling, so I went out to check the flowers. Sorry for the dreary day, but I thought I would share what I found.
I am not a macro man like Ken (kpmac), so these were shot shot at 70mm on my 24 -70 Sony lens.

Nice! You're way ahead of us. Just shoots so far.
Thanks, Ken. The daisies are flats from Costco that we planned on putting in window boxes on our porch.

I had the same reaction QD had ... you were way ahead of us as well ... but now I see you bought them in flats, which explains why it's so far ahead of us ... hope they survive the snowy beating ... they are signs of things to come. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the "plug", Mike. These are as good as many of my marcros, though! Great job.

Love #4. Here in Seattle area, the narsisis and daffodils are out and have weathered snow and hail. Looked beaten down but all came back maybe even better than before. Nature always amazes.

Thanks. Lee, that was my "artsy" shot. We are having snow now and through the night, but this time of year it will melt soon.

Thanks for the kind words. Being from San Antonio, I remember the weather, although I marched in a few Fiesta San Jacinto parades in April that were actually cool.

I appreciate the encouraging words, Cindy. Given our "lockdown", this was not as much inconvenience as it might have been. It is snowing now and supposed to go through the night.
