Covered in Springtime

We took a hike today on a great new trail to us. I loved all of the gorgeous yellow flowers blanketing the side of the path. I laid on my belly to get this shot. I always feel so cool and hardcore doing that!

[J. Voorberg]

very nice spring shot

[Colleen]

Excellent DOF and POV cute little yellow flowers

[Linda]

definately was worth doing! Its beautiful

[Paul King]

Love the colours and the dof and pov are fabulous you really have captured spring

[Brenda T. Schwartz]

Totally hardcore and a beautiful shot. The viewfinder on my Canon T3i swung out so I could easily get shots like this without hlaying on the ground. Sadly, my 6D does not have this feature and I really miss it!

[Wendy]

Great POV -- looks like a beautiful spot for hiking!

[Tiara]

rich colors

[ali warner]

I'm with you on the belly shots. It makes me feel a bit more pro!! Great shot.

[Linda]

A lovely blanket of green and yellow!

[Katie]

Ha ha ha. Feeling hardcore. That's really what it's all about, isn't it? Lovely.

[joey d.Muli]

lovely colors !

[Kristin]

Pretty shot, love those yellows. Ha, love that you were on belly for this after I just commented on your last pic about the contortions we go through. You have some really awesome shots in your project and a great variety. Okay, for Get Pushed this week, I'm calling for candid-style selfie shots with all 3 of your kids - can be in all in one photo or individual ones. I know this is a tough one, but hopefully you will get some shots that you cherish... Good luck :)

[Beau]

Beautiful. These are the same flowers we get along the river over here. Don't they add such a great view in the forest. Love when they bloom. Awesome shot. Fav

[☠northy]

awesome dof... good for you for going hardcore ;p

@northy I almost wore camo for the hike just to be more, you know...hardcore...and incognito. But then I thought against it;-). Thanks, friend!!

[Simply Amanda]

Love the composition here. It's like the flowers are hugging the poor fallen tree.

[paula365]

@amandal It feels so good after you have had a good dose of winter, right!?!
