Spring Fever
March 17, 2011 
A baseball cap..a favorite sweatshirt..and the softest of old soft jeans. Flip flops that bare my winter toes..at last.
It happens every March. A few good days - scattered in among the other winter ones. The sun shines and warms. The birds sing. The earth heaves its first sigh of huge relief.
The calendar has yet to make it official....and I do know that we might still have some winter waiting. But today..for just today - I want to believe..I need to believe - that spring has sprung and is here to stay.

Gorgeous photo! I'm ready to pull the flip flops out and put the uggs away - it is time!
The colors here make my heart flutter... wonderfully situated
One of my favorite flowers. I always enjoy popping over here to see how you've arranged your subjects. A very fun break in every chance I get to sneak a peek!
May your wish come true, Marcie!
Fantastic! I really like your continuous playful attitude to still life photography and the stunning results.
Gorgeous colors! I feel spring in the air Marcie.
Nice line up and I really like this color palette.
nice cool lines to shoot these with.. beautiful flowers too.. :)
So pretty, all in a row. Glad you are getting a taste of spring--won't be too long now.
My dear, you continue to amaze me.
WOW, great photo, congratulations!
This is a really lovely image. I love these anenomes (am I right?). The colours are so jewel-like.
very colourful today
you'll have to excuse me for not thinking about the weather for these bad days, and no i'm not talking about Japan, i'm talking about hubby and me and losing our house and everything... thank you for the pretty flowers to cheer me up :)
looks like girls watching the game
Official spring is here.....but it's snowing today ;-) Beautiful colors and great composition.
I'm always amazed at your great compositions! I can totally relate to this post. This weekend (which just happens to be our anniversary weekend, so I know what the weather is normally like) will be sunny and in the low 80's. It's only happened one other time in the 18 years we've been married! Boat time!
Wonderful colors! Today it's Spring here in Italy too - not sure it will last, though...
Great picture. And I know how you feel. We have had a few moments of spring-like weather here and I am hanging on to those as if my life depends on it :)
Wow! Love those bright colors!
I forgot to say that I'm happy you are finally sampling some Spring!!!
Love your photographic transformation from winter to spring! Beautiful colors!
Can't wait to put flowers like that in my own vases! Gorgeous photo Marcie. Nice and colourful!!

Oh yes, it is beautiful!
Today is our first spring-like day after a very long winter.
It truly feels so good!!

My favorite colors in this capture! Very charming. I'm right there with you, thinking and living for spring :)
I love the rhythm of lines, shapes and colors. Wonderful! Have a terrific weekend!

So beautiful.
Delightful, it very much speaks to me as spring :-)
Gosh this is a beautiful composition Marcie. The bright coloured anemones really pop against the soft green background. Love this.
beautiful image. I like the colors and repetition.
Beautiful! I immediately thought of music notes and piano keys all captured in color.
So simple, yet full of peaceful rhythm and color! Beautiful!
What lovely colors. I too believe it's here to stay. I have no choice but to do so. My soul can't take any other!
