DPNOW Salon 271 - Signs of Spring

[patmoore]

We're less than a month from summer. This transition of seasons manifests itself in different ways througout the world. In Vermont we experience a brief "Mud Season" and followed by gray landscapes. In mid May the trees burst into green seemingly overnight. This subject should give you a broad range of avenues to pursue.

• Post up to 3 images in this thread. You can use the forum attachment system or link from an external website.
• Any photos must be your own work.
• Each salon is open for two weeks .
• The salon curator then chooses three photos from three different contributors in order of his or her personal preference and the one deemed the best endows its owner with the job of curating the next salon, after choosing a new topic.
• The salon curator doesn't compete but can post some examples, if necessary, to give some inspiration

The end date is Sunday 12th of June at 24:00

What a cracking find, Barr1e. I have never seen one, although they do frequent my neighbourhood now and then.

Oops! I was supposed to pick a winner a few days ago.

All the entries are good but I keep coming back to the first one by Rodbender.

13 entries this time. A good showing. Let's have more submissions next time.

Over to you Rodbender.

[Barr1e]

Congratulations Ron.

Thanks for running the Salon Pat.

Well I never. I had forgotten I had entered with all the problems of logging in just lately. Thanks Pat for choosing my image. Now what can we set as a challenge this next fortnight? Will have to give it some careful thought. Try to set a new one up tomorrow.

[Garry]

Congratulations Ron. A very worthy winner.

Thanks for running an interesting Salon, Pat.

Some cracking entries, I thought.

[Caz]

Well done Rod, and thanks for running the salon Pat. That must have been a difficult choice, and what a cracking entry from Rod.
