Ah.. what delightful picture, the selective focus and bokeh is beautiful, it's a fine Spring image.

@observing: And unfortunately a historic recording, as heavy rain and high winds were returning Monday. :-(

Jen from Alpharetta, United States

@Jen: It was real fun in the park, would have been fine if the weather would just have continued that way!

Stunning complimentary color harmony.

@WABIKOJA: Thanks a lot, I'm a bit colourblind and don't notice this always. :-)

Tracey from Maryland, United States

Wowzers. Love this one. I am on a laptop, so I can't tell if that is a reflection at the bottom or if that is the DOF, but either way, it is beautiful!

@Tracey: No reflections, pure DOF. A bit too narrow to my taste. ;-)

JoeB from Brampton, Canada

A nice light touch, nobody said springtime here, maybe over there.

@JoeB: It was just a short moment, we returned to German Standard Weather just a day later.

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States

Those are not words that evoke pleasant associations for me. Spring time means summer is rapidly approaching, and with it, about 4-5 months of hot misery and high electric bills. I had two monthly bills over $800 last summer.

@Twelvebit: I would exchange this immediately for our winter, where we have back pays of 1000,- € quite often.

dang from Atlanta, United States

Ah yes... Spring is finally arriving here also. Lots of rain for a change this year, so has me excited. Lovely image, I see the lady bug sneaking around too. ;-)

@dang: After a February that was (concerning the weather) two months long, we finally had a fabulous week with plenty of sunshine. Many trees are blooming, the flowers too, bumble bees are humming, and my allergies are also coming back to me! :)
