We had a lot more flowers a month ago than we do today. February was a rough month for us... an unexpected snow storm followed by a month of cold weather. A lot of the first round of flowers died off but now they are coming back.
Here are a few photos taken this morning with my Olympus E-M5MarkII and a Nikon 105mm f/2.8 macro lens. The 2x crop factor of the Olympus gives me an effective focal length of 210mm, and I can focus fairly close - but it is manual focus only.
White Heather
Miniature Daffodils
Purple Crocus

It's a pretty hardy flower, most of them are pink or purple I believe. This plant didn't mind the snow at all.

Lucky you! We still have very little blooming except the snowdrops. It snowed here this morning. I'm very sad.

I'm trying. We still have several days with snow in the forecast. I know someday spring will arrive but I think it's on an extended layover in Denver or something.

Howdy sir Keith! Great macro shots and that Purple Crocus is stunning! Those flowers that got wiped out by the weather will come back?

Thank you! I've seen a lot of dead cherry blossoms but the new ones are growing. Even some of the snowdrops look old and wilted, but again, there are tons of new ones growing. Some flowers like that heather don't seem to mind the snow at all.

Sir Keithboone! So spring is actually there now? we measure spring here by the scorpions showing up again! lol. You just don't even go without shows here, inside or out.

Well, there are zero scorpions here, so I guess it's not Spring yet! There was a dusting of snow overnight, now it's raining and around 40 degrees F. Winter just does not want to give up this year!

howdy today sir Keith! well that mights it kind of hard to get fresh pictures every day doesn't it? It's a good thing you have a huge archive.

Yep, it's a good thing, but these were fresh photos and same with the Feathered Friday post. I do try to get out there every day, it's just not always nice every day ;-)
