Are you out taking photos of Spring?

[mnhtnbb]

We will be taking submissions for the Spring Photo Contest, beginning the first of June.

To get everyone in the mood, I decided to take a walk around The Sisters' Garden here in Chapel Hill this morning,
and then a stroll around the Old Chapel Hill Cemetery which is adjacent to the neighborhood.

Here are a few shots to get you motivated!

2. Well, you've done it!

3. Not much spring going on here yet,

although my rhubarb and some columbines are already up, much earlier than usual. The snow is gone, also earlier than usual. By June I should have some flowers, though.

4. It's snowing like crazy here. Is it Spring?

Beautiful pics. I wish it looked like this in Connecticut!

5. We still have three feet of nasty old snow

one the ground. We have a different kind of "spring" up here at 7,000ft. I went out yesterday and saw lots of melt taking place but we still have a lot on the ground, no flowers peeking out or nuthin'. The trees and shrubs have some buds on them. Couple more weeks before we see sprouts.

6. I know we get Spring here in the south before everyone else.

The political climate has been so nasty here for the last 10 days with the passage of HB 2
that I felt like I had to do SOMETHING to record the beauty here--at least the natural beauty--
that exists in NC.

7. It's snowing here (central NH)

I think I'll have a psychotic break.

Yeah, that's the ticket.



Lovely pictures.

10. It's a little less lush round these parts.

But I went for a hike with the dog yesterday and found some interesting things.

12. Love them all but

every time I look at the first one I just feel happy. A tad jealous too but mostly happy.

13. Bumping this thread up for a reminder to get out and take some photos of your spring

because the Spring photo contest will be opening for submissions on June 1st.

Our spring is pretty much gone. We've been having temps in the 80's and thunderstorms already.

14. I get a tad bit jealous

every time I look at that first photo. Back to chilly and rainy here.

15. We're actually having spring this year

at a "springy" time. I think I'll have something.

16. Good!

Looking forward to all the spring photo entries!
