After several really cold days (for us californians anyway) we had some beautiful warm weather. Seems like spring is creeping upon us.

The Bees were buzzing:

Bee 2

The kids were playing:

Popup Link At Play 1
At Play 2
At Play 3

And flowers were blooming:

Popup Link Flower 1

Enjoy!

I love shooting bumble bees, they are one of my favorite summertime subjects. Aerodynamically they aren't suppose to be able to fly but they don't know that. Nice shots.

Agree about the grape hyacinth, small variety type. Just what do you consider as a cold day.......glad you were able to enjoy day outside.

well we actually had frost, so that is considered a cold day. We rarely get a frost on the ground.

only vague signs of Spring here. A few daffodils and my daylillies have little green buds sticking out of the ground, but it's raining and cold so I've stayed in today. At any rate, At Play 1 is a great capture. I really feel the activity in the picture. And my fav is the flower with the peeling white paint fence. Good captures!
