Photo Challenge

Spring

March 22, 2011 by Jonathan

As the weather has been delightful this week, and hopefully will continue to be, I think this week we should all take pictures that demonstrate the arrival of Spring.

I’ll leave the content up to you, but you could cover leaves on trees, blue skies, flowers, baby chicks, etc.

I look forward to seeing your Spring-themed photos by noon on Tuesday 29th March.

Have fun!

Challenge Admin, I enjoy taking photos mostly of landscapes and architecture - but I will try anything! I mostly shoot film and I spend a lot of time in my darkroom trying to get the perfect print. I'm a sysadmin for a living and I also enjoy cycling and music technology.

    I definitely put the link, but it seems to have vanished! Let’s try again.

    It was probably some automatic anti-spam measure – although normally it tells me if it’s mangled somebody’s post. Anyhow, thanks for the entry! :)

    Hi Susan, looks like your Facebook privacy is set so only friends can see your photos. Can you either set it so everyone can see that picture, or email it to me at photos@jonathangazeley.com ? :)

    Hello, I’m new here (I’ve said Hello in the “meet-and-greet” too). Thought I’d give this one a go, so here it is. This is what Spring means to me!

    I don’t know if this will work as a link, I’m not totally au fait with technology!

    I’m sure I was going to be a little more inventive with this theme… Oh well. At least it’s colourful and full of life, which is all we can ask of Spring.

    Hi Jonathon. The picture of the Robin was taken at Trentham Gardens, near Stoke yesterday, 27th March. If you have any problems with the link, please let me know. Thanks, Rod

    Amazingly, I have submitted an entry this week! I actually found some time to go out yesterday to try and find some Spring foals in the forest; I also vowed that I would not include daffodils in any picture I took. I couldn’t find any foals (possibly a little too early) but see here for my epic fail.

    A bit late but I had to go out of the house – sorry.

    Spring has sprung!

    I have no idea why, but for some reason my links don’t seem to underline properly.

    … except when they do. Gah!

    Jay, it’s because the “spring has sprung” link you posted was just an “a” tag without an “href” :) Can you repost it, and I’ll publish your entry.

    Lovely pics and I want to live in that cottage!
