You are so lucky to have so much in bloom .I did notice my shrubs have little buds starting to pop so hopefully flowers will follow soon, for now I will just enjoy this lovely pop of yellow and dream of sunny spring days! Nice work Craig!

Beautiful work Craig. The backlighting is particularly nice. Fine comp as well. Excellent balance between subject and negative space.

Great comp focusing on the two flowers standing out from the crowd. Well controlled backlighting too. Excellent image.
