These orchards and farmland are bordered at the end of the fields by a 1000 ft drop to the Columbia River. High on the ridge spring is once again beginning the cycle of life and in the process giving us some Eye Candy. In this image Mother Nature herself offers us boarders. The Poplar trees in the background and the bushes in front offer a natural boarder and balance to the image.

You're back. This is so absolutely drenched with color and pattern. Someone actually lives near here and has a view like this all spring, remarkable vista.

A very colorful image. Are those Rainer Cherry Trees? Great subject contrast and composition. Good job and welcome back.

Spring has sprung, but not here just yet, still up to our eyeballs in snow :(
Starting to melt here now with an average temperature close to 0.
BTW, this is beautiful, I love how you captured all the levels!

Incredible composition, the different planes and colors, almost as if you scripted mother nature! As someone has said before, you set the bar.

The Northwest...wow..this is the time of year it is at its finest!! And to capture the feelings and colours the way you have, well its a wonderful gift! I love the whole perspective here...the eye meanders across each pattern that nature has laid out, just like a great painting...You and nature have merged that "magic touch"....Absolutely lovely Michae!!! I've been out and about, the tulip festival is going on here now...I hope to go...soon
