Can Spring Be Far Behind?
Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 8 February 2009 in Landscape & Rural.
A few days ago it was snowing in Olympia. The next day it was sunny and warmer so I went for a walk at the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge where I found these willows looking as though Spring is on the way.

The prediction is snow this Tuesday, naturally all subject to change as weather always seems to be. What a beautiful image...the soft reflections are just beautiful.

Here, in Barcelona, today is a splendid sunny day, but we are having one of the coldest and most windy winter I remember. We also are waiting for the spring!! Nice photo Steve.

Here in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo, we had our first truly sunny day after days of bleak, rainy days. I hope it stays because I'm just about to wash my car! Warm, lovely colours in this capture. A very nice image, Steve :-)

Do you know how many layers of colours you've created here? Let's count... the blue cloudy sky, the green forest, light brown trees forest, bright brown trees, dark brown grass, even more dark brown grass, blue reflection in water... okay I've the lost the count now.

A very attractive view of refuge. We've had the same kind of spotty weather lately which does indicate spring is on the way... thankfully. This is a fine image with lots of appeal.

Spring is just around the corner. We are actually reaching a high o 70 degrees today. Twice the normal high.
Wonderful picture.
