I spent most of the day doing some spring yard work. I noted some yearly firsts.

I can almost smell the lilac looking at that. These are some nice close-ups.

oh you are way ahead of us. We do have daffys and forsythia, but our lilacs are still tight buds. Your macro pics are fantastic, great detail and so sharp!

Very lovely pictures! I used to take a lot of pictures myself but my camera battery doesn't work anymore. :(
Enjoy the spring before you cook to death in summer! =p

Nice shots Gms9810!
The flowers have been blooming in our neck of the woods as well. I've been meaning to get out and get some photos on the next nice day. This week looks like it's going to be good, 16°C and sunny.

Beautiful photography. I can almost smell those lilacs. That dandelion is getting ready to proliferate. :hehe

Very nice! I have something that looks like the lilacs growing outside my window. (I don't have a green thumb, so no clue what they are). It was spring for a while. My cat ate the first robin of spring, and since then it has been cold and rainy.

I really like the closeup of the dandelion. That'd be my favorite one.
