This Must Be Spring

I always think Malaysian spring stays in dictionaries, but my camera shows me the other way round. This is fun.


And of course this is the joy of living outdoor, and go hiking that I have never missed, when I see a butterfly fluttering about in the white spots of sunshine. Is snow melting?  And spring is approaching, flowers are blooming.


There are far too many clicks I have done in the morning, that was not easy to stop. I stop to check and preview,


because a butterfly flies away with time, while the Sun shall glare in no time,


flowers are pretty, but will not anymore, of the perception of a camera.



I am starting to collect, one by one, the wonders of beauty that I have long foregone.

Your captures are lovely and definitely signal the onset of spring. Our dafs are up, the crocus are popping up out of the ground, and the trees have buds on them.....and it is only March 11. This is unbelievable. I especially like your last shot with the beautiful bokeh in the backbround. genie

Twoje wiosenne zdjęcia są cudowne - wszystkie. U mnie tak pięknie jeszcze nie jest :-(. Pozdrawiam. *** Your spring photos are wonderful - all of them. For me it is not yet beautiful. Yours.

What flower is this?

That was no office, it was our computer at one corner of the lounge. Small house, too many computers, stick them any where possible. But chair good value. $180 something off, paid only $134. It shwivels and leans back. Son loves it.

Collecting the beauty of nature with your camera is one of the most fun things you'll ever do. Lovely photos.

First and last line of a song:

it might as well be Spring"!

Wonderful shots, friend!

Sharkbytes said...

Have to love the flowers, and the colors in the first pic are beautiful. I think your only snow might be a drift of snowy blossoms, though.

You are capturing the rebirth of spring. The butterfly is your guide to go from flower to flower.
