Signs of Spring Photo Hunt

Happy Spring Equinox! It is time for another photo hunt! Signs of spring have been popping out all over here in the northeast, and for an even longer time for those of you a bit further south. For our southern hemisphere friend, feel free to show us autumn’s approach. I was out for a hike this past weekend and spotted the bright yellow flowers poking out of last fall’s leaves you see in the photo above and thought they’d be a nice way to promote the new photo hunt. My photo app says they’re called “coltsfoot” – I’ve never heard of them, but they looked like a sign of spring to me.

Show me what spring looks like around you for this photo hunt. Choose as many photos as you’d like. Here’s the twist: if you own a prime lens, use it! Challenge yourself to zoom with your feet rather than your lens. Don’t have a prime lens? No worries – just choose a focal length on your zoom lens or your phone and try to stick with it.

I’ll be headed to Cape Cod this coming weekend to visit my mom, so I’m going to push the due date for this hunt out to March 31st to make sure that I myself find the time to get some photos. The forecast for around here this week is unfortunately rather dreary. Be sure to drop me a link in the comments here to tell me to come see your post, or use a pingback in your post. I’m adding a link to this post in the photo assignments widget over on the right side of this page so that you can easily return. Happy photo hunting!

ETA: I may be pushing the due date of this photo hunt ahead a bit if the 10 day forecast for around here remains as dismal as it appears right now. There’s about 5 full days of rain ahead when I get back from the Cape, so I’ll let you know – thinking of extending another week to April 7th.
