    Photo Competition #24 - Ends 6th September

    Don't know about the last couple of days, but certainly all of last week and the weekend it felt like the beginning of summer! But with winter certainly at an end, here comes...




    I've seen lots of indicators that spring is here: trees are in flower, leaves are budding, noisy miners are on the attack ... so "Spring" is the subject of this week's competition.

    Not many rules this time, however:

    1. We want to see new photos only (taken 26th August 2009 or later).
    2. As usual, a maximum of 2 submissions per member.

    Happy snapping!

    slt

    What are you talking about I lived in Tassie for few years and there is not such thing as a Spring, only winter and autumn

    Too much moaning people

    Where I came from originally it wasn't unheard of to have some serious snowfalls even in spring! It's actually a fairly broad subject and variable weather makes great photo opportunities ... just do your best

    What would spring be without a few wildflowers. All taken within 1km of home this afternoon.





    Shame it was so windy - made it a bit hard to get a good pic.

    No idea what they are, except native
