1. Stunning beautiful shots.

Wont be seeing anything quite like that in Northeast VT for quite some time.

That's okay. he snow on the mountain was perfect under vivid blue skies .

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Thanks for your lovely comments, my dear PuraVidaDreamin!

It's great when we all have beautiful things to look at. Your Spring will eventually get here, just as mine did.

3. Love the colors.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Thanks so much, my dear sinkingfeeling! I love them too--they brighten my world.

[1WorldHope]

4. Do good to see life flourishing again.

It's reflecting your beautiful heart back at you California Peggy. For some reason I thought of you this morning as well as George McGovern. When I think of you I see Senator Warren in my mind. I think that is fitting.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Thanks so much, my dear 1WorldHope!

Getting compared to Senator Warren is amazing! She's a lot smarter and driven than I am. I respect her enormously. Very kind of you.

5. Beautiful shots, why are the eggs, different color? pardon my ignorance

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Thanks so much, my dear Walleye!

I think the color varies depending on what the chickens are fed. But I'm not sure! I haven't seen that particular color before. I never know what I'm going to see at this venue!

10. Beautiful and

7. Award worthy..

First one - a tribute to donors?

Second one - another pin point focus - way cool.

Finally, "every other egg" is hilarious.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Thanks so much, my dear Permanut! I appreciate your kind and thorough comments.

It's a very large mural which honors the people who have supported our local schools. I think tribute is a good way to see it.

I think the second one is my favorite! I was very careful not to get too close. And I didn't!

I agree; the egg photo is a fun one. I also bought some.

12. Niiiice!

I really like the flowers. That little blossom is interesting too!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Thanks so much, my dear 2naSalit!

I thought the flowers were especially lovely today. And I have to say I was really hoping the little blossom would turn out--and it did!

[LoisB]

13. ..and you have captured "spring" perfectly. Beautiful. Thank you.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Aw, thank you so much, my dear LoisB! Very kind of you. It was a great day. ...n/t

[Easterncedar]

14. Gosh did I need that, Peggy!

Thank you. Thank you.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear Easterncedar! I'm really happy that I filled that need for you today.

[Diamond_Dog]

18. Peggy, I really think this collection is some of your best!

Every one is interesting, beautiful composition, color, and clarity.

The 2nd and the 5th from the top, especially.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Wow, thanks so much, my dear Diamond_Dog!

Somehow, my photos are getting better, bit by bit, and I'm not sure why. But I like it!

The two you pointed out are my absolute favs in this group. Esp. the cherry blossom! I did play with the F-stop to narrow the depth of field, and it did what I wanted: a beautiful flower with the fantastic blurry background!

[George McGovern]

20. "Eggcellent" Peggy! I researched your first spectacular image:

Your photo shows "The Seeds of Knowledge Community Recognition Mural" in Manhattan Beach.

This link leads to a website by the mural's creator:
https://betsykschulz.com/the-seeds-of-knowledge-community-recognition-mural/
At the site you can click on the first photo and then each one afterwards. Or wait for
a slide-show of the same. It's a fascinating work of art.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Thanks so much for your input, my dear George!

It's very kind of you to find the info and pass it on to all of us!

And of course, I'm glad you enjoyed the photos!

[George McGovern]

24. Invariably! Your photography is always a bright spot in the day.

[niyad]

21. So much beauty! Thank you for sharing.

We got some much--needed snow and rain yesterday.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. Thanks very much, my dear niyad, for your lovely comments.

How good you got the snow and rain that you truly need. And I appreciate your enjoyment of my photos.

[mike_c]

25. all good photos!

But I especially like the first one, the bee and sunflower carving!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. Thanks so much, my dear mike_c!

I love that first photo too. And I haven't taken many shots of it, so I decided to make it part of the group. I was quite pleased with how it turned out.

[Kath2]

26. Awesome, Peggy! PEACE!

32. Thanks so much, my dear Kath2! I'm thrilled you enjoyed my photos! PEACE back atcha! ...n/t

[riversedge]

27. I am jealous of your lovely flowers--it is lightly snowing here in mid WI.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. Ah my dear riversedge! I am sorry it's snowing in mid WI. Spring should start soon!

I am glad you enjoyed my flowers! This market really does well.

[MIButterfly]

28. Beautiful collection, CaliforniaPeggy!

I always enjoy your photographs so much. I think you have such a good eye and a real talent for photography.

Thank you, once again, for sharing your photos with us. It's almost as good as it must be to be there in person!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Wow, thank you for your beautiful thoughts, my dear MIButterfly!

Having good equipment and a good eye really help.

29. Beautiful photos, Peggy

It sure does look like springtime. I can almost smell the colorful fragrant blooms in those pics. Thank you for posting them.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. Thanks very much, my dear wendyb-NC!

Spring is here in every way except according to the calendar! It's a beautiful time of year.

Getting out to this market makes me happy. I love capturing the beauty.

[Old Crank]

30. Very nice, as usual

We were up in Normandy for the end of Feb. Fruit trees were blooming and the daffodils were in flower. Seems early.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. Thanks so much, my dear Old Crank! Glad you enjoyed them.

Feb. does seem early. Maybe climate change at work?
