<p>Well it <em>should</em> be time for a Nikon Wednesday full of good warm, showery, sunny warm spring thoughts. Except it's below freezing outside. We're paying for our warm March, I guess. Even so, the local flora is using the late-day sun to shrug off the overnight chill and get some buds and blooms well under way. In keeping with my goal of botanical accuracy, here's a ... uh .... green thing. What've you been shooting? Share!</p><div></div>

<p>The pines are also getting ready for their upcoming pollen assault.</p><div></div>

[Matt Laur]

<p>And the azaleas are actually a bit early, as far as I can tell.</p><div></div>

<p>I went to Cley (pronounced Cly, to rhyme with sky) wetlands nature reserve in Norfolk, England recently and took these shots of an Avocet feeding and in flight. I've composited them together as a twitcher's guide. The Avocet feeds by sweeping its upturned bill from side-to-side under the water.</p>

<p>D7200 + Tamron SP 70-300mm VC lens, handheld.</p><div></div>

[rodeo_joe1]

<p>Another from Cley. Same tech details.</p><div></div>

[rodeo_joe1]

<p>This one was taken in a friend's garden in Norfolk at their bird-feeder.</p>

<p>D7200 + Sigma 135-400mm Apo zoom, tripod mounted on Manfrotto 144 and fired from 40ft away using YN RF-603N radio triggers.</p>

<p>@ Hamish. Good to see you back on the forum Hamish. Nice picture.</p><div></div>

<p>The desert cactus started blooming in Arizona a couple weeks ago just before we left to come back to Ohio, and snow!</p><div></div>

[mukul_dube]

<p>Timing just right, Tolga.<br>

Here's one on film. This lady runs a pavement tea shop. Her speciality is the <em>kachori</em> (<em>kachauri</em>), which is deep fried.</p><div></div>

[User_2019667]

<p>One more from the Arizona desert. </p><div></div>

[Miha]

<p>Springtime is here, temperatures are over 25°C (77F), flowers are blooming.</p><div></div>

Hope you like the pics.</p><div></div>
