Default Spring is in the air

I love this time of year when the weather starts to warm up and the garden starts to come alive with colour.

Blossom

Flower

Daisy

This big guy had me cracking up when he was under the miniature camellia flower and all I could see was the flower walking around.

Angela these are so beautiful. All excellent photographs and all the frames match the subjects to perfection. The first one is my favourite but only just because they are all so special. You have done and amazing job Angela.

Dave.

All are really good, but that first one just looks surreal.

Thank you everyone for your comments. The first one took a bit of manoeuvring to get the branch with the blossom away from other branches, so I could get just the sky in the background. I'm really happy with the outcome.
