Day 98 - Spring has sprouted

Spring is FINALLY starting to sprout in our yard. We have a small garden in the backyard next to the house. The snow has melted in that spot and the irises, tulips and hyacinths are starting to sprout. I believe this is a hyacinth making its debut. I like the contrast between the green and the darkness of the soil. The light seems to be coming out of the leaf tips. Such a welcome site. YES, spring is really here!

Beautiful shot! The detail in this is so magnificent that I can smell the dirt. Makes me look forward to hitting the garden again!

Things come up so quickly here in South Alabama that I rarely see anything "just peeking through." Love this capture. It's beautiful.

Life!!! Omigoodness, I can't tell you how much emotion (and wishing) this photo evokes for me! We are probably a good month away from this stage but if I can live vicariously through you for the time being, it'll help me get through!

Beautiful photograph!

Lovely light - amazing how quickly things start even before the snow completely melts.
