Signs of Spring?

D90 18-200mm @ 200mm F11 1/90 ISO200 50% crop

Taken a few minutes ago, a jay dropped the robin's egg in the driveway near the snow covered tulips, so I had to use my props for this staged shot. Warning! I suppose the site will see a lot of tulips and snow images over the next few days, as we are getting a pretty good spring snow fall today in New Hampshire.

Nice shot Bob. Definitely illustrates the ongoing battle between winter and spring. Calling for frost here tonight in Virginia, with temperatures in the 80's this weekend. The wild ride continues. :cool:

You got snow! Nice capture. Great contrast of color between the egg and the tulip. Hope the snow doesn't damage too much.

Good looking image Bob. The pastels make a nice contrast against the snow and I like your composition.

Great theme shot. Beautiful color and it tells quite a story. You go nothin' on Colorado with the late snow! :biggrin:
