What smells sweeter or is as lovely than the hues of a lilac bush in the morning sun and budding chartreuse leaves?
Here are five shots of my spring today. Which one do you like best?
A large cup of strong coffee. A hummingbird buzzing in my ear. Ducks honking at the river below. It’s quiet. What a fine morning!

i love them all, but i have learned in my own flower work that the key to a great flower shot is the background. therefore, i would give the prize to the first picture.
