March Assignment Spring into Action

[F, Calla & Luca]

We need to jazz things up a bit and get more participation. Some people want technical assignments and some don't. Spring is coming. We all love doodles and doodles on the move. Most of us love nature. So combining all of this is this month's assignment, "Spring into Action". Any part of it works, whether it's about action or spring or both or even jumping doodles. And if you want to try different exposures, silhouettes, stop action, or blurring or any other techniques just tell us what you're doing or even trying to do : )

[F, Calla & Luca]

Thanks. That's not a doodle it's a rabbit in disguise : ) Actually, if you look in the distance you'll see the tail end of another one. No peonies here yet although I have seen big buds elsewhere. The lilacs may be done then, though.

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Our lilacs are just about done and the peonies are budded and almost ready to pop here in CT....you might get lucky. 

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Beautiful.  I can almost smell them.

[F, Calla & Luca]

I don't think they do smell though : )

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Flowers always put a freshness in the air that just reeks of new beginnings.

These three shots were from late April using Shutter Priority Mode set at 1/1000 and using external flash. Sheba and Duke enjoy playing with each other. Mike

Amazing shots. The dogs always look like killers when they play like this.
