Sounds fun, unless you're in the Southern hemisphere... But who knows how many beautiful sunrise photos are actually sunsets?

It seemed like spring 2 months ago here. Today however, I'd only be able to drive a couple hundred miles before the highway is closed for a blizzard! Nevertheless I'm eager to start shooting as soon as the sun reappears .

Re: Camera phone competition May 2017: Let Spring Spring
 

No part of the US is in the southern hemisphere AFAIK, so it does not have to worry you :p

Re: Camera phone competition May 2017: Let Spring Spring
 

I know. But haven't you seen those "upside down" globes that put Europe, Canada, Mexico, the Middle East, the US, Japan, etc. on the "bottom" for a change of perspective?

(BTW, the southernmost US territory is just under 19 degrees north, somewhere in the Hawaiian chain. I would have thought it was Guam, but I would have been wrong until now when I checked.)

Also BTW, it's far more Spring-like here today than yesterday, so hopefully I get some outdoor time for photography. And that Mosen's Spring weather comes soon, as well.

Pichlo, you seem to come from my part of the world, so maybe you know the joke: "What countries does the USSR border?" "Whatever it wants!". I think, that US can have part in any hemisphere it wants ;) And thanks to the Guano Islands Act all it takes is some bird poo and one US citizen ;)

Ladies and gentlemen, meet my entry for this month. I found these guys scaling the side of my house on the morning of Saturday 6 May. They were a bit above my eye level, I had to reach up to take the shot.

PS
@juiceme, I have heard all your complaints about a "small picture". Please take them up with the TMO uploader who shrinks them to 600px :)

Re: Camera phone competition May 2017: Let Spring Spring
 

Thank you, that is what i am talking about :)
They seem to be yearning for the sun like me.
Is that stack behaviour a snail social thing?
Looks cosy and in contrast resambles why i fled employment and went freelancing :rolleyes:
Perfect entry!

Edit, oh no, you triggered me somehow.

Re: Camera phone competition May 2017: Let Spring Spring
 

Lovely snailstack! And indeed might be love in the air :D

And the picture uploader is poor, I grant that.
If you do not have a nice place to host larger pictures, I am happy to help you and can serve them from my domain.

Re: Camera phone competition May 2017: Let Spring Spring
 

A sign of Spring already at hand... :P

I love the smell of rotten fish in the morning. Surrounding the titan arum are mature Sansevieria for a sense of scale. Taken with a Jolla phone:

A sight, and smell, to behold.

wow, sound fun! :D

Re: Camera phone competition May 2017: Let Spring Spring
 

Wow! What do they call it, Audrey 3?

It took me a while to figure out that the hanging easel-thing was a mirror, and then a little bit more thinking to finally realize that it's there so a normal-stature human can see into that frightening blossom.

Really cool pictures, thanks.

Titled, 'In the Springtime, when houses go on sale...'

I tried to capture some of the Spring sights here: a house for sale, wet pavement from earlier rain, bright green leaves, and no parking signs put out for street repair following winter. No ladies bathing on rooftops, though...

Had also considered this non-entry:

Re: Camera phone competition May 2017: Let Spring Spring
 

This month there was strong discussion on which picture I should hand in.
We finally settled on this:

Tulip and lion's tooth, taken with my 808 Pureview:

I will post the other ones after voting has finished.

Re: Camera phone competition May 2017: Let Spring Spring
 

This spring wasn't good for me :/ I had a very different shot idea, but here's what I got; at least there are green leaves and raindrops ;)

My vote goes to the foto
of vibrant colours in an intriguing locale :cool:
that was taken in the location shown in this screenshot:


Not exactly Spring,
but, ha ha :D close enough.

I must say I do like many of the fotos,
but this was, in my view, the pick of the lot.

Re: Camera phone competition May 2017: Let Spring Spring
 

Did I get in too late to vote? I really like tomislav's trippy lupines (or whatever they are) with the nice light playing on them.

As always, thanks to everyone who shared this month, I loved seeing your photos.
