Gorgeous photos! I especially like raindrops on junipers. No signs of spring here in Edmonton yet, alas!

Wonderful photo´s!

Finally some of Your low pressures will come and visit us :-) :-) We´ve had a highpressure in Europe that stopped them from reaching us here up in the north. Now it´s weakening and the lowpressures finally reaches us :-) :-)

So I do hope much of our snow will dissapere after this week!
Have a great day now!

Great pix and I love the special raindrop. Now, that looks like it could very easily be a prize winner! Thanks for sharing.

I just cannot believe the amount of snow you had and now it seems to be nearly gone! That is fascinating.
Really lovely photo's! I am wishing so much I had a good camera. I fight with mine daily for clear photo's. It's maddening.

I am off to look at your spell books...I'll be right back! :) Thanks again.

Oh, Spring! Hast thou sprung?! Lovely pictures. Did you plant your own reindeer moss, or is that natural in your neck of the woods?

Good grief, I am at my wits end. I thought I knew exactly where I had found the spell books and now I can't find them. I have gone back, and back and back..but still...I enjoyed my journey SO much. Being born in October and having having a Mom from October and grandkids and my children...and now a October husband...(last two husbands have been Libra's) I was right at home. I lost an hour at least! :) Loved the art and the pumpkins and just all of it...LOVED IT!
So...where the heck are the spell books??? :):)
Oh GOOD GRIEF again! I just found them. Sorry. :)

Spring, spring, spring, how very tender and beautiful. The tender beginnings are joy to behold.

Thanks again for sharing beauty I would not otherwise see.

Blessings of Spring and very Happy Days.

I remember moss...we don't have muc of it here in Colorado.
I don't know what a macro lens is, but I suddenly want one ;)
The only thing blooming here are the crocus that the squirrels dug out of the back garden and moved to the front yard. They are lined up with the tulips that meander across the yard. Our squirrels are weird.

Beautiful pictures to lighten the heart! I've got some miniature iris blooming, and right now, they are getting snowed on.
So far, the heaviest of it is tracking just north of us, so my little plants might not get buried.
I love all of your water droplets! You've got a good camera, and you know how to use it!
