Today on Google + the Macro theme had a sub theme of "The End" which i interpreted as the end of Winter.  These flowers are the first to bloom in the yard, besides weeds and to me the signal winter's end.  On this image it was shot normally but in post processing I upped the black to create the look.

This is an image I took last summer in Yellowstone National Park.  These are two geysers steaming away on the Yellowstone River in the park.  I put a slight HDR effect on this to bring out some highlights.

This is a photo from last spring.  The Tulips are not quite fully up yet though I imagine it will be soon.  Right now the Daffodils are furiously blooming away.  I shot these against a portable black background that I have.

Lot of 4s in today's date.  For the Geeks out there like me it's 4 04 Day Not Found.  LOL  To explain for the non-geeks, a 404 error, File Not Found is a common error notice on the net.  :-)
Enough of that.  This is a grape Hyacinth macro that I shot with my new macro lens and quite liked the look of.  A bit different take on this type of flower than the norm.

This is Mr. and Mrs. Mallard out for a swim in the Conodoguinet Creek in Pennsylvania.  It's a tributary off the Susquehanna River, is 104 miles long and is pronounced "can a dog go in it".  This is one of 2 pairs of Mallard Ducks who always seem to be in this particular area off a nice little park in Carlisle.

This is another view of the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone.  We were on a set of very steep stairs where you could go most of the way down to the river.  As the stairs were so steep it required a lot of resting on the way back up.  On several of those rest stops I took photos and this is one of them.  It was very beautiful to see so up close and at the different levels.

Sharing an old Army Air Corp Aeronca L3J photo that I took at the Bi-plane Fly-In last June.  Obviously not a bi-plane but other interesting old aircraft come as well.  This was used as an Observation plane during WWII.
