Hey Luca,

We are supposed to be near 90 on Thursday and Friday. As usual we will go from 50-60's and skip right to high 80's/lower 90's! From what I understand, you can get just as hot as the midwest! But, I would take the snow and cold weather anytime!

Spring is long gone from here. Here's a shot of a couple of the grandkids cooling off in the pool. Our temps are back in the 90's.
BTW, it was the boy's birthday and he had been splashing and tormenting the girls. His little sister finally caught him.

I played golf once in Memphis in July - first time in Memphis. It was 95 with humidity of over 85%...Darn near killed me! I could not wait to get the 18 in and head to the 19th hole...I do not know how anyone can tolerate that kind of heat. I know you are supposed to get used to it - but man that was just unbearable! Thank goodness for AC...

The water looks very inviting....

On the bright side, we don't need AC here. Even on August days with day temps in the low 90's the humidity is very low and nights are around 48 degrees.

oh yeah we skipped right over pring some time back in....march....went from 60-90 over night so i guess we may have had like 5 minutes or so of the season....

Tom,

I moved here from Phoenix and once played 18 holes when the temp was 116. 95 degrees with 85% humidity is almost balmy.

For a Novice Photographer, that is one cool shot Stephanie!

I love the silvery reflection in the droplet of water. Very cool!

Guess what? We didn't get any Spring in Jackson Hole as it snowed until 5 days ago, but all of a sudden we got summer. So this is my sign of summer:

We left Jackson Hole driving up to Yellowstone a few days ago.

A few miles out of Jackson and into Grand Teton National Park, we both started sniffing with our noses up in the air like a couple of hound dogs on the trail of a fox.

We actually smelled this field of Lupine's about a 1/4 mile before we got to them. The field stretched on for miles with the snow capped Teton Mountain Range as a backdrop. Needless to say, it was a very good memory!

Here Cindy is sitting amongst the blooming wildflowers. The smells were intoxicating!

Then there are these little flowers; maybe one of you who is a bit smarter than I (Every one of you actually

) might know the name of them? They line the road way and make it look like it has a layer of purple along the edges.

When you pull over to look at them, they are very small. This shot was taken with my 70-200L lens with all 3 Kenko Extension Tubes on the lens. Like the other shot Luca posted in A Gathering of Friends thread where you can see my lens almost touching the flowers, this is the way it was to get this shot.

The flower is about the size of a dime

Wildest part is many of these are blooming with snow still on the ground around them. Remember we're up in elevation here in the mountains.

Here is my take. To me spring means the end of anxious waiting for the snow in the mountains to melt enough for me to travel "easily." This shot is from Rocky Mountain National Park. Ouzel creek (a beautiful little creek) was bursting out from under a deep snowbank. The shot is called "From Winter Comes Spring."

Very nice, you could have a sequence taken at different time of the year marking the passing of time.

Isnt it cool to see what Spring means to all of us.

Hello!
Spring is a little past here, and hail just recently knocked all of the petals off of my flowering crabapple tree, but this is what it looked like in June!

This was my first attempt at photographing bees (and flowers!), so any comments/critiques would be welcome and appreciated!

The bees were shot with a Canon Digital Rebel, F5.6, ISO-200, Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS lens.

Here is a shot of the Big Horn Mountains this past weekend ~ still spring there! I am just learning my new Canon 40D, so again, any C/C are welcome! This was also shot with the Canon 70-200mm lens, with a Hoya polarizer.
