The spring is near, I hope.
This one is one off the signs, that we are close, it not normal this time of the year, February and flowers are popping up every where, strange at least one month to early.
This one is standing in a pot, covered from the cold wind, so therefore its there, but still much to early.

Hola Jens,
precioso trabajo y detalles,
excelente presentación...
saludos

Good morning Jens

What a coincidence I was in my garden last night and noticed my daffodils are in bud and ready to bloom. As you rightly say its very early in the year too.

Lovely capture here, superb DOF giving a really sharp detailed image. I love th lighting and tones here, just a tiny shame some of the leaves are lost on the right. Lovely image though

TFS regards Helen

Hi Jens, "Spring is in the air..."
Good for you to see that. But unfortunately, that means:"Fall is in the air" for us!
Pretty flowers opening - they look tightly squashed in the pot - must keep them warm!
Cheers
Janice

Beautiful PP work. Nice colours and frame

Greetings and welldone

Not only do they look wonderful, Jens, they also bring the most lovely, strong perfume!
I like how you have captured them leaning out of the frame ... I could almost touch them!
Excellent sharpness and good dof!

kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Jens.
Wow, I think 'spring' is ahead in Denmark.!
Good looking picture of eh... forgot the name of it.
This afternoon, I saw the first one like this flowering, only it was 4 cm long from above ground.
Think it is a liliput, haha
Best regards from Jan

Many thanks for your kind words on Think WIN .

Ciao Jens, spring is coming with your splendid flowers, elegant composition with wonderful colors, very well done, have a great week end, ciao Silvio

I see that the same thing is happening in Denmark then. Here also flowers and bulbs pop up everywhere. Much too early in the year. Nevertheless a great sight.

Merhaba myfriend Dear Jens...
What a beautful shot.Great colours, POV and perspective.TFS.
Regards.

Nature waking up from the dream. Great it left an effect of leaves leaving to the frame appeals to me something is forming it in the kind of the three-dimensionality, the good work

Hi Jens, we had some heavier rain here and a couple of cooler days and I found my bluebells shooting up, about 6 months early! Good colour in the image, lovely softer detail and well presented. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Two wheels in shadows’

I can understand how most people in the Northern regions are looking forwad to spring after having seen so many photos of snow and ice (to which I am of course very unfamiliar). This is a lovely capture of the flowers and hopefully we will see more of them once they open up? Your photo truly captures the anticipation of spring.

Over here it is going on to autumn and my March lily (the one that you commented on so nicely) was also early to bloom.

Wia

Hello Jens
Very nice spring shot! I really like how your leaves are in the frame! nice idea...
Wonderful reminder of what is to come.. we are still under 10 inches of snow! no flowers here

Tricia

Jens
great shot and beautiful colours
Spring spring come and meet us all :-)
Bye bye
Josine
ps
did read the nice comment of 'Sorinabal' to John in his last photo and Johns reply
on that, seems you 3 meet in Vanice?!

Fun to see these popping up to greet the spring, and popping out of the frame here as well. I like the feel of life bursting at the seams, so to speak:) Nice job.

Hello Jens :o)

Great details on these 'jacinthes' ! They smell so strong and so lovely when opened. Nice light and excellent frame, bravo !
Ciao
