Andy Rodker's photos with the keyword: Spring

Another shot from a few weeks ago (mid Spring). I thought about saving ths for HFF but I have another planned for that. Sight and Sound. Apropo of nothing at all, but it just amused me! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKZc2EN6ZrY

I occasionally take this longer route if I have time. But until today, it has been too grey and dull to bother with photos here. Today was more spring-like. There really is some rather understated yet attractive countryside around St Day. Sight and sound: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJIRgm7aDKs The Rolling Stones at their (very early) best. Perhaps better on large for detail.

Spring last year in the Sierra. Sorry, I've not been active. My laptop hard drive died and I have to rely for everything, including giving classes, on my phone. I don't find using a phone keyboard all that easy and I can't edit easily, if at all. So I will visit infrequently. I hope you all stay very, very safe. Bye for now, Andy

Not sure how I got patches in focus and other patches out of focus but I quite like the effect! (* ... but please see Keith Burton's comment below).

Sierra de La Cabrera. I sometimes follow this stream to get to the higher areas. Much easier when it is bone dry after June or July.

By the path. Algete, Madrid. Something to look forward to!

They only open at the height of the strongest sun and when the temperature gets really hot, sometimes for an hour or so only. I have seen them closed on a sunny and warm day - it just wasn't quite hot enough. This is not photoshopped or edited in any major way. The tulip colours and the grey of the degraded granite were as seen. Sight and sound! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXHwzyqFRDE
