Spring into 2009

Posted on March 31st, 2009 at 8:05 pm by Lisa Newton

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Spring is in the air, so I created a Flickr group celebrating the first day of Spring with the same name—Spring into 2009.

Wildflowers are in bloom everywhere in California right now.

I’m not a horticulturist, but that’s not a requirement to know what I like, admire, and appreciate, therefore I wanted to share my recent flower photographs, some of which are blooms, while I’ve been Travelin’ Local:

In the northern hemisphere, we’re celebrating spring, the southern hemisphere is embracing autumn– which I was educated about–but worldwide the frame of reference is technically the Equinox.

So far, 39 photographers have joined the Spring into 2009 Flickr group. Because most of their pictures are designated “All rights reserved,” I can’t reproduce them here—so to appreciate and see their great photos, please click the Spring into 2009 group.

I highly recommend viewing every group member’s gallery because it’s definitely Travelin’ Local round’ the world web friendly.

Great pictures Lisa! And what a great group you’ve created – like Diane, I think it’s so interesting to see what spring looks like in all sorts of other places.

@dc Sometimes when I’m walking, I will suddenly smell the flowers, blossoms, or even the trees. I don’t remember this happening too often when I lived on the East Coast. It’s strange.

@ Kim I’m sure the first flowers will pop up soon. I hope you share a few photos on your blog.

@ Lisa’s Chaos I’m not showing off………..I’m just enjoying the view. Is it possible to show off snow?

@ David Thanks. I loved the colors, too.

@ Diane C. I totally agree. Spring can come in so many different sizes and shapes.

@ Lance We are often limited by our location, but sharing spring with world-wide neighbors is great…………:)

I love this line – I’m not a horticulturist, but that’s not a requirement to know what I like, admire, and appreciate. I LOVE to garden, but never bother to remember the names of what I put into my garden. People look at me strangely when they ask me “What’s this? What’s this?”, and I just keep responding “No clue”. Will definitely check out the group on Flikr, and might sign up myself. I have some really interesting shots of flowers myself.

@ Urban Panther LOL………..I often times wish I could “speak” the language of flowers instead of saying, “Oh, I really like the purple one.” However, just like you, I still greatly enjoy their beauty.
