Images And Words #205 ~ Spring Flowers

It's Week 205 of IMAGES AND WORDS. This week our host is Sue C, who has chosen the theme of Spring Flowers. 

 After a really long cold winter, spring is only just starting to show a few signs of appearing where I live, so I raided my archive for a Spring flower from a couple of years ago.

    Not like you mentioned in your comment dropped on my entry, I can't identify the beautiful and exquisite flower I see on here. However, I can say: 'I do love this entry'! I do hope you join the party, soon...

    That's a super party you have there. Radiant colours with a sprinkling of sugar - lovely. Same here, no big signs of the Spring awakening, I saw my first daffodil in the garden today and the crocus sort of appeared a bit half heartedly.

      Thanks Pat. There have been some daffodils and snowdrops out for a couple of weeks here, but they seem to appear regardless of the weather. Still no blossom on the trees.

    That is one very beautiful photo Mitch, it makes me think one could almost eat it.

    We are well into Autumn now so I will also see what I can find.

      Thanks Loretta. I always use Olympus cameras, they have the best macro lenses (in my opinion!! LOL).
