Don't get to see this lovely green carpet for 9 months of the year in the SF bay area...it's quite a treat when we can!

Wonderful light, and oh yea those greens are a treat huh

The water provides a unique and effective anchor/lead in - something that's missing from most of these kinds of scenes.

Now I got real spring fever. We still have snow on the ground here. Beautiful scene and nice light on the oaks. Great use of the creek bringing you right into the scene.

Very nice scene Kartik, very refreshing! The light is fabulous and the composition with the lead in works great. Can't wait for some green around these parts!

Fantastic color and light Kartik. Enjoy this while we can, it does dry out fast.
