Spring is finally here!
It seems that everyone this year has been really beat up by this winter. Maybe it’s the economy, maybe it’s because winter weather really did start early here in the northeast – I had one garden spigot freeze on me in mid-November, but whatever the reason, boy are we glad to see the crocuses! I hope you are too.

Is there anything more smile inducing after a long dreary winter than these little cheer-bringers?
The only down side to them is that they are so small, so unless there are dozens or hundreds planted in masses, the impact isn’t as great and to get a compelling image I need to get close. So I pulled out the trusty macro equipment to make these images, something I haven’t used much since my days doing the White Flower Farm catalogue.
These should bring a smile to your face.

And for my friends in the southwest who are sick of hearing us northerners complain about our winters, here’s an image I made last month at the New England Grows show up in Boston. It’s just a box full of succulents in pots, but the way it was all packed in together was pretty cool, and it made for a fun composition.
