Howdy,
I think we can safely say that spring has arrived, although a random snowfall can't be ruled out just yet. Not that many years ago, we received eighteen inches in mid-May.
It has been hard to get things done, now that the weather is nice. The weekend forecast is not looking quite as pleasant, so I went out in search of spring sights. This is despite the looming portfolio defense that is scheduled for Thursday. Hopefully, they'll let me graduate...
This next one was taken with a smaller aperture to get more in focus. The result is a bit more harsh than I prefer, but the colors and pattern are easier to see.
Of course, the robins are back too. That's usually one of the first signs that spring has arrived. I'm not much of a bird photographer, but this one decided to plop itself down on a branch right next to me. Is he smiling?
I managed to get one of the butterflies with its tongue in a perfect spiral but, unfortunately, the focus missed. I really need to upgrade this aging equipment so, hopefully, I can find work quickly. The resume is freshly pressed and waxed. Up-to-date, anyway...
