harbinger of Spring
03-AUG-2007

harbinger of Spring

Although winter has a few weeks yet to run, flowering of wattle (acacia) is a sign that Spring is not far away. A profusion of brilliant yellows of different varieties of trees and shrubs will brighten gardens and woodland over coming weeks.

Ohhhhh! If there was no little spines (i was told there are those little things in Acacia trees) i think i would hug a huge yellow bouquet!

Beautiful and nice composition. V
Gus R. 07-Aug-2007 10:16
Nice job Brian. They are not as easy to capture as the picture would make one believe. Acacias and eucalyptus bottle-brush blossoms are difficult to define photographically. It's so odd to be in touch with folks in winter, while it's so hot over here. Pretty image against this clean sky. g
Vince 07-Aug-2007 09:54
Excellent work using the sky as your background. Very brilliant color too. Vote.
Paco López 07-Aug-2007 09:29
Excellent compo, Brian!!!!! Fantastic mix of colours. VOTE!

It gladdens my heart to see such beauty...and I must say that I admire your noiseless blue sky as well. We are in August's endless muggy heat hear in North American's Midwest. Your new beginnings in the often strike an envious spark. Still, as comes your spring, so comes our autumn...and an irony that a similar shade of gold awaits us in the turning oak and maple leaves.

It's a beautiful shot, Brian. The acacia blossoms cascade so generously down and across the frame. Energizing!

this is so wonderful, beautiful colour, the blue sky,love it.
Yvonne 07-Aug-2007 07:25
