The colors of Spring. 1 春色.1

For a really long time, the weather has been most unsteady. For some reason, the sun never wanted to stay long in the sky. But Sunday showed promise. So I grabbed my camera and off I went to one of my favourite hunting grounds for shapes and colors: blues, red, white, yellow, green and all the colors in between either alone or in combination. To do more practice, I had to crouch,  stand on my heels, bend my body backwards, inch my way uphill and stick my camera between leaves and branches and zoom in and out, focus and click on the shutter. But I was amply rewarded.

This one look practically orange

The color of this one looks really sharp

Melon flowers appears to change from orange to pink

This one looks almost pink

A faded melon flower 

Tiny bean flowers

They look so full of life under the sun

Looks as if they are catching fire

Like this lily

More cockerel crowns

 little daisies

 A sea of daisies

  A close up of one of them

 But nothing like as colorful as these two chrysanthemums

The root of some huge bamboos

 A cut stump full of new growths

Even simple leaves take on a new beauty under the sun

The way uphill was filled with these yellow flowers

They look really bright under the sun

To be contd'
