Camas starting to bloom
The Camas in Southwest Washington is coming on early this year with the warm weather last week. This one was taken at a local preserve yesterday under late morning slightly overcast skies.

This is a great time of year as everything starts to sprout green and bloom. And our Goldfinches are back!

Very nice. I especially like the background. The camas in the upper right corner is a bit distracting, however. Very nice image.

Beautiful little guys! Now if you can just catch a goldfinch on one... :wink:

nicely done! It's not easy to get enough depth of field to get a whole blossom in focus and at the same time have that nice, soft background.

Camas are out here in the southern Willamette Valley in Oregon. the oak savannah meadows are full of them Mount Pisgah Arboretum and Buford Park.
