Hi Rob
I'll trade you my snow shovel which lately seems to be a permanent hobby for this thorny stalk.
Very sharp looking rose bush I do believe.
Nice shot
Dot

Hello Rob. Nice new shoot for the wake up call. I like the texture of this plant with thorns in good sharpness. Regards. Jusni

Ik hou er van te zien hoe je er boven op zit in deze bijna MACRO.

The focus makes it very effective and works great.

Hi Rob,

Very nice image of the first signs of spring.

Have a beautiful Sunday,

Hoi ROb.
Mooie macro. Lekker scherp en goed van kleur.
Leuke originele border.

Het is nog wel een tikkie fris voor een spring party, maar inderdaad Rob, een heleboel knoppen staan op barsten en overal zie je al fris groen en gele en roze bloesems.

Mooi hoe je die knop hebt vastgelegd op het moment van openen. Goed moment dus om dat even te delen.

Prettige zondag,
TFS

Cheers

Hi Rob
In a month or so, I'll be able to produce a photo like this one; but for now, the rose bushes lay under a heavy load of snow but you can believe me, I'll watch the buds and as soos as the show up, "clic".
Thank you for reminding me that there will a spring soon.
Serge

Yes indeed Rob!!
Very well observed and captured.Excellent differential focus adds to the excitement!
Best wishes
Bill

You guys are so fortunate - like somewhere else I've seen a pic of a Austrian meadow in full bloom..... Winter here has us still in it's grip. Not bad here out west, but I understand Eastern Canada and the NE US got whacked with bad weather. So spring is still a way off for us....

ON TUESDAY

Lucky you! Allready spring and nice buds and little green leaf!
This is sooo refreshing after the worst winter in my life.

Thx and take care :)

Bonsoir Rob,
il ne manque pas de piquants ton printemps ;O). Cette petite feuille verte tendre l'a annoncé mais il faut encore persévérer et attendre sous la pluie ou la grisaille.
Merci pour ton gentil commentaire sur mon jour de printemps.
J'espère que tu vas bien.
Amitiés françaises
Corinne

Hi Rob

Just 2 weeks ago, the willow tree outside my school was covered in snow. Today, it has green shoots & leaves. This phenomenon is well captured, in the superb macro shot here. Tfs!

Hai Rob,
Laat de Lente maar komen, maar als ik nu naar buiten kijk is het wit !!!!!!
Erg mooi die ontluikende bomen,
Gr, Jacqueline

Excellent macro in a very effective presentation! Your image is the very quintescence of spring.
TFS!

Hi Rob,
