Spring Colors
May 8, 2013
Lew picked this week's Headbanger's theme. We are going with "Spring
Colors." Check out my pals for their interpretations on this theme:
Fishing Guy,
Katney,
Imac and
Lew.
For me, Forsythia is what
does it. It has become to me the official announcement that Spring has
arrived. This started some years ago when I learned that the right time
to put the first application of lawn product is when you see the
Forsythia bloom in the same region. That's how you know what's
happening under the turf with the insidious Crabgrass, and you can catch
it before it grows up and chokes out the good grasses like Fescue, Rye
and Kentucky Bluegrass. I used a polarizing filter for the header shot,
because I wanted to show the deep blue in the sky in contrast to the
gorgeous Forsythia in full bloom.
Spring offers a lot of options for this theme, and here are some other ideas. I hope you like them.
