Spring Forward

Well, I'm back home in Huntington Beach after spending nearly three weeks in Big Bear. Driving from 7,000 feet to sea level was like going from Winter to Spring in a couple hours. Nearing the bottom of the "hill" were wild Sunflowers growing along the highway. When I arrived at our house I discovered that the Jasmine vine was in full bloom. I still have more than a dozen photos taken in Big Bear, complete with snow, that I plan to post; but to celebrate our return to Daylight Savings, I figured that a breath of Spring would be nice, just for one day.

You have used DOF very well to create a blurred feel to the image that makes some buds stand out making this a beautiful composition.

merveilleuses petites fleurs du printemps, tout en délicatesse et en nuance, c'est la vie apres l'engourdissement de l'hiver.
