Spring is here, never mind what the calendar says. Crocuses are never wrong about these things.

I've got nothing today for the Tech Challenge. Three's a charm so they say. This is the third time I've chosen a technique and been unable to complete it. Lots of excuses, but it boils down to no motivation today to pick up the camera. Half a dozen shots of these blooms was it.

There are other wonderful examples of the Forced Perspective Technique here.

I'm so pleased that spring has finally reached you - enjoy! :-) girafferacing · 2012-03-16: 18:50

Crocuses :))) But we've got tulip trees, rose of sharon, daffodils, tulips :)) Still this is a fantastic shot. I love this color on a flower most of all ????? · 2012-03-16: 19:07

This is absolutely fabulous. (The photo). I beg to differ about the crocuses. Remember I posted the ones outside my door last week or the week before? Well, that horrible storm the night before last took 'em out. :o( ((((((Marjorie)))) liveandletlive · 2012-03-16: 23:36
