Photo-a-Day  (Saturday, 20th March, 2021)

Thanks, Dave, a pretty picture that’s very apt for the first day of spring! Love the crocuses and the busy little bee visitor.

A bright & cheerful sight !

Nature at its best

This is a lovely refreshing photo Dave, beautiful flowers, lovely colours.Its brightened my day already.

Lovely photo for the Spring Equinox. Nice to see a cheerful photo. Thank you...

What a lovely clear shot of these beautiful little flowers,thank you Dave.

I wonder how many Wiganers harvest the Saffron strands from the crocuses that they have grown in their gardens, after all it is one of the most expensive spices in the world.
I know it takes a lot of strands, but if a charity like the Brick asked Wiganers to harvest there Saffron and send it in to them, so it could then be distributed to a hungry person using the Brick food bank.

Lovely that's what we need at the moment to brighten and cheer us up.

Incredible colours of nature. Excellent piccy Dave.

beautiful!

Dave that is my kind of photo, Crocuses in Spring with the garden birds singing , we know Summer is on the way.
My Crocuses have almost gone but my Daffodils and tulips are in full bloom. Soon be time to cut the grass.

That's a much better photo than mop buckets and clothes pegs.
Keep them coming Dave.

It's the Spring equinox today and a great photo to celebrate it.

Now photos of Spring really brightens up the day, thank you Dave.

My favourite beautiful colours of Spring. I can smile today.

What a beautiful sight. It makes it feel like the sun is shining even if it isn't. Thankyou.

A beautiful flower. Mick saffron comes from a special type of crocus and some crocus types are toxic

I feel a painting coming on.... what do you say Maureen? xx

I agree Veronica, send me a picture please, when you have painted.xx

I hadn't noticed the Bee Joanne and had to have another look, still it's really colourful and well worth another look.

In jellied ponds
Dots are on the move ....
In nests , pelicanesque
Beaks gape amid shards .
On hills ,
Lambs ooze gooey from ewes .
On the winds of the Sirocco
Swallows missile
From Morocco
Eager to see the newborn .
It is like someone has wound up
An old clock this spring equinox .

I'll certainly think about this Veronica,but it probably looks better in watercolor than oils or acrylics.xx

Crocus Sativus are the 'saffron' crocus.

Beautiful photo Dave, the detail on those petals - it's made my day, thanks.

Where was your beginning?
The earth or from above?
Did the great one send you,
or a painters strokes of love.
When you show your face now,
I wonder what you see,
I hope you see smile back,
Like the warmth you give to me..

Thanks everyone.
