Default Out and About

So many amazing shots in here today, made me want to go take a walk around. The air smells so good right now with the Lilacs that are starting to bloom. Gotta love spring !!

The "Star" of the day was this bud.

These captures are just so beautiful Teedlepeep. Lovely colours and soft focusing and I can almost smell them from here. Spring is such a great time of the year. There are two stars here. One in front of the camera and one behind the camera. Outstanding work here Teedlepeep.

Jake.

I generally don't like picking favs,, but the second photo being soft and warm is just awesome, thanks so much for giving a little sample of your walk

Now we trade places. It's 103 today and while the calendar says Spring, it feels like summer. You've been such a faithful traveler through my Desert Spring and now I get to be "out and about" with you. What a treat! Just reading that the Lilacs are blooming makes me swoon! I wish photos came with smells. These photos are so lovely. I love white blooms and your second and third shots are good example why. So delicate and appealing. A site for squinty eyes.
