Bring on spring by egad

Bring on spring

I am so tired of snow and being stuck in the house! I am ready for warm weather and flowers.

*critiques encouraged*
@aponi This shot was inspired by your Dear Australia discussion. Thanks for the laugh and the inspiration. :)

Well done! We're going to be in the mid 50s and sunny this afternoon - it definitely makes me feel the urge to bring on spring!

February 17th, 2013  
Delightful shot and just the right amount of color
February 17th, 2013  
Oh wow, amazing that they are there.
February 17th, 2013  
I love this! Brilliant idea to stick tulips in the snow! The splash of color makes the photo!

So nice ocntrast! I am waiting for summer too and good weather!

Striking photo.

I love it enough that I'm going to fav it. I love what looks like SC but is probably naturally like this. The only thing I may have done myself (although I'm not suggesting this would improve the shot in any way!) would have been to soften the background a bit more. But that's a minor detail and doesn't influence my fav :o) xx

This doesn't even look real! It looks as thought the tulips were caught unawares:) Lovely scene and a bit surreal.

Great shot---did u just put that there as a prop or really sprouting out now?
February 18th, 2013  
love love love!

Gorgeous shot!

A great idea and well executed. A critique... none of technical value but if I had been your assistant I would have had an urge to move the far right tulip over to the left...

Just joking! ;-)

@aponi @michelleyoung @westcoastwallis @jodimuli I put the tulips there. I should have had my husband take a behind the scenes photo. We still have over a foot of snow but I just had the idea in my head that I wanted to plant the tulips in the snow so I was not to be deterred. Of course I didn't wear gloves and it was freezing. I kept falling in the snow. Even got stuck on my back once trying to get the best angle. I was happy with how the shot turned out so maybe it was all worth it?!

I stood outside in the combination of snow and freezing rain trying to get one of those macro snowflake shots. Total fail. I got a few that I can tell by squinting what was going on but they were all too fuzzy. I think the ground was too warm so they kept melting. Eventually I'll get that to work, but this weekend even the dog that normally sticks to me like a piece of velcro lost interest and went inside.

@aponi lol this weather is miserable. I tried the snowflake thing a week ago and only got one usable shot. It was not easy. Good luck!!
February 18th, 2013  
Ahhh the magician reveals her secrets;-)
February 18th, 2013  
Such an awesome pop of color! I love this one! A fave!
