Cromwell, Connecticut, USA. For the past week, we have had unusually warm temperatures. With that, bulb flowers have blossomed and other plants are budding. These crocuses are among those in full bloom in the late afternoon sun. Enjoy!

Our comments are supposed to be constructive, supportive and informative. I have been submitting pictures for about a week and have received too many "Great shot" and "Beautiful" comments.

I saw this picture and checked out you entire gallery. You have an excellent eye and even more skill. In this particular picture, you have framed the subject perfectly. The colors leap off the monitor and the background stays where it's supposed to be...in the background. If I had to rate this, I would say 9.5 out of 10.

Great shot....Beautiful. That about covers the entire spectrum of what I think...only abridged. I should say...Great Foofy shot.

Beautiful shot! Great! LOL!
Incidentally, Thad, I was originally thinking of calling "Wordsworth Revisited", "Spring Has Sprung"! But I'm more than happy to let you have the honours here.
In fact, I think I'll up old chummie's 9.5 with a 10/10.

I will go "Beautiful" and "Great shot," just to mix it up Thad. I did a little recon and discovered that the old phrase: "If I told you once, I told you a millon times not to exaggerate applies." I like the FDR look to this one. It brings out the textures.

A nice capture of these blooms Thad. Beautiful rich colours and details/textures in the petals; the orange stamens really stand out in the photo. Warm, bright light flooding your scene, perhaps a tad over-exposed on the left. But a good composition and good shot. ~Wendell

Hey Thad
These are such a reminder of Spring! They have bloomed out here as well but ours have already wilted away. Thanks for letting me see some more! Great Spring shot! hope your weather holds.

A few flowers are springing up here in my neck of the woods as well. But you can imagine my surprised when it started poring the snow yesterday. But it's all gone today:))
