22 March - Challenge: Changing Seasons: Spring Flowers/Snow Showers

Well I don't think our seasons know what on earth they are up to
at the moment! Grabbed this shot out the car window on the way
to the shops! I did have an idea in mind along the lines of me
lying on a sun lounger with a cocktail in my hand... and the snow
coming down round me.. but the snow turned into rain..! ;o)

Very well caught,Nicky!
Yvonne23-Mar-2007 11:00
Love the warm red contrast of the primula!
Carole Stevens23-Mar-2007 08:11
Great capture Nicky, but you have to do the lounger thing even in the rain!
Simon Chandler23-Mar-2007 05:33
Wonderful. Very poetic.
Guest 23-Mar-2007 02:53
Great shot- love the contrast of snow and flowers. Wonderfully done.
Michael Shpuntov23-Mar-2007 01:23
Kind of had same idea - me lying in parka and kids splashing around in water. Too warm for parka and kids did not want to get onto water slides yet :-) Great shot. Love the reflection and colors.

Johnny JAG22-Mar-2007 20:25
We've had all the seasons in two days, nice shot.
Guest 22-Mar-2007 20:09
Great, great mood! V

It's been crazy like this over here too, better stick to hot chocolate then cocktails.
The lounger shot would have been interesting though..

nice and sunny again here :-p
beverley harrison22-Mar-2007 18:46
how very poetic!! love the saturated colours!! but you can leave the snow there when you visit!!
James Ross22-Mar-2007 18:22
Get the sledge out, plenty time for the sun lounger although it'll be a long while before I get mine out of the mothballs. :-)
JW22-Mar-2007 18:07
A suitably confusing scene for our confused seasons. Don't give up on the sun lounger idea just yet though!
Ray :)22-Mar-2007 17:19
No snow here, but I did think about posing in my trunks and overcoat!
Dan Chusid22-Mar-2007 16:52
Better dust off the Spring snowsleds and get the
Summer ice skates ready.
Winter's just been extended for another 3 months!
: )
J. Scott Coile22-Mar-2007 15:38
The shift of seasons. I'd still like to see the lounger shot ;-)

That is certainly not a good autumn look. The poor little polyanthas are the only bright thing about it....oh & the " eye "
Rich Westfall22-Mar-2007 15:18
Nice shot, Nicky. It's cold one day and warm the next here. No one knows how to dress or how to act.
Guest 22-Mar-2007 15:03
well seen and done.
Maaike Huizer22-Mar-2007 14:54
Very well captured.
Faye White22-Mar-2007 14:52

Jola Dziubinska22-Mar-2007 14:48

Guest 22-Mar-2007 14:46
