Critique Welcomed Early Spring

[Chris Dodkin]

Driving inland from San Diego to Fallbrook - spring is already coming to the groves around Welburn Gourd Farm.

Wow, lush. Did you have winter yet then?

 

[Chris Dodkin]

What passes for winter round here Pete - the temps got down into the 40s!

 

[Beth Carter]

very beautiful scene. lol, our temps got into the 40s today too, it's considered a heat wave.

i have plans for a similar shot with live oaks in florida - if i force myself to stop in to see my brother..

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Very inviting. I'd just like to walk into that scene. Sit down with my back to a tree, and play guitar for hours on end.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Surreal...at least from my perspective. Nothing but slush and puddles here.

 

[Paul Lange]

This is exactly what it looks like round my way except there is no green stuff and a lot more brown soggy stuff on the ground. Apart from that identical.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

LOL - thanks everyone

We have had winter rains which have then led to rapid grass growth when the sun eventually came back

We even have some trees in blossom - very spring-like

Still cold though - my frost warning came on in the car this morning - FROST!

 

[Pete Askew]

No, you misread the display. That was the frosting warning telling you to use a napkin when you eat that doughnut that you bought at the gas station!

 

[Paul Lange]

So when it says "Risk Of Ice" it actually means there is a chance you could get sticky fingers from the bun.

 

[Pete Askew]

I think that's a different warning Paul and is activated by the cup-holder's temperature sensor to help you avoid any nasty shocks!

Hey Chris,

That's a beautiful image, lovely and bright, love it..!!!
