Thanks so much for your comments. I am glad that you enjoy the flowers.

Pat:  There is no magic.  You just go where the flowers are blooming or take a walk through some gardens and take pictures.  Enjoy the colors of the season with your camera in hand.

Roy, what beautiful flowers, and so looking forward to the day we have blooming flowers.    Some were blooming, then more snow.

Roy: I cannot imagine there are many places that have flowers in your area you do not know about.  Good that you are sharing this with many who may not know about Green Spring Gardens.

Seek the colors of spring with your camera in hand.  It is easy to set aside the problems of the day as you focus your camera in a beautiful flower or plant.

It is sometimes a good idea to revisit old blogs and reblogs. We might even find some good ideas for new posts.
