Jippieeee! It's spring! Post your first spring pictures here.

I'm having a problem viewing it. CR has a image size limit of about 600 X 600 pixels, so that might be a issue. It downloaded fine.

Time for robins to lay eggs:

Spring? what spring? where I live there is no such thing as spring ... but the Govt here buys millions of dollars worth of flowers, every month, from Holland and plants them near roundabouts and traffic dividers etc ... this is a nice thread you've started ... I'll have to move my lazy a55 and make some pics of those flowers ... I'll be back with some pics

I live in Holland. Plenty of flowers here :-)
I'm very jealous of your country :)

I have no problems with the image by the way, dunno what could be wrong...
Me too, no issues with viewing the images.

Anyway, here are a couple of pics as promised ... unfortunately here in Qatar we don't really have a Spring season, it kinda quickly changes from very mild winter to summer within just a couple of days, always after a massive dust storm (but the Qatari govt does a commendable job in maintaining them in such a harsh dusty environment ... to give you an idea how harsh the climate is here, notice how some of the flowers are dying in the intense heat.) ... since these flowers are bought from the spring season of Holland, I suppose they qualify as spring season pics ;D

Here is my backyard dogwood. The flowers are open now and turning white, but it has been too windy the last several days to get more pictures. I used my new Kenko extension tubes with my 50 1.4 for this picture.
