3. Thank you, my dear LoisB! The rocks drew my eye too, and the water plus the birds.

I didn't realize that one of the birds was flying away till I uploaded the photos! That was a lovely surprise.

Glad you enjoyed!

I'd forgotten that this little park has a water feature and when I saw the birds, well, I sat down to capture them.

Glad you enjoyed!

Four & five are my favorites. The orange, yellow, and green are such perfect spring colors.

I love that color too!

Four & five are a bit different in terms of composition. I'm partial to them, but of course, I love all of them! But those two responded so well to my post processing.

Yes, the colors are saying spring is here!

I love the blooms of yellow/ orange mixed with purple, a great color combination. Maybe that is why I like Birds Of Paradise.

They always remind me of buttercups in PA when I was a kid. They have that reflective glow.

I had never thought about buttercups that way! The reflective glow is amazing.

Glad you came by, my dear BigmanPigman.
