Share your best Spring Flowers
Thought I might start a thread to get the folks around here out and about and start photographing and showing your spring flowers and wild flowers that you may have gotten this spring.

I know its been quiet around here and I am guilty as well so lets get the ball rolling with your best shots from this spring !!

Here is one of mine, Virginia Bluebell after a thunderstorm form Clifty Falls State Park.

Very pretty shot Bernie. I really like the variety of colors.

Great idea, Bernie...thanks! Hopefully I can find some time this week to locate and shoot some wildflowers.

The water drops on these Bluebells look like icing...good eye!

Beautiful Bluebells! I love water drops on them too.

Went out in the rain today to do some shooting. This is my favorite of the day. (I think you meant for us to attach our pics in this thread?)

I am open to all comments, suggestions and critiques.
Canon 5D, 100macro with 56mm worth of extension tubes and rain gear.

Oh yea this is what I was after Deb...amazing work with this one, everything about this is wonderful. The curve in the stem and buds, the water droplets but my favorite is the color and how the bg and bloom work off each other.

Thanks for sharing !!

Just saw this thread. Bernie, good idea and even better image. I'll try to add something later.

Deb, your image is fantastic. I encourage you to post it in the flora gallery so more people will see it.

Thanks Scott...I am sure whatever you add will be great !!

Nice, Bernie. I like the comp with the three trillium.

Here's one taken a couple weeks ago after it, believe it or not, was raining. One of my favorites of this spring. Snowdrops at Fellows Riverside Gardens, Mill Creek MetroParks, Youngstown.
