Great Spring photos. Was out today and didn't have my camera with me so I missed taking a photo of new born lambs with their mother.

Am enjoying you colourful freesias and hibiscus too zanditoez. It seems we in the northern climes are fortunate to have spring earlier than those down south island. The lambs here on the island are getting big already.

and this one was taken 5 weeks ago...

Hi all, i am a member of 90 minutes and very interested in reading and viewing this discussion thread. I am a south Aucklander living on Vancouver Island. So much Flora and Fauna here to photograph. I love what i have seen and the support from fellow members. I will have to join photobucket to upload images.

Welcom Nodde,
I'm a relative newby to the photography thread, but have made my share of comments on other threads as you will see from the number under my alias.
I'm restricted to dial-up speed till 7th Septmber, (Roll on roll-over day). I have used too many gigs, and am not going to pay $20 to double my data with so few days left to go, I will suffer the frsutration, not with stoicism, or patience, but with pent up fury that it took so many gb's to down load something that never turned up on my computer after all that time ( 2 hours).
Went to Tauranga yesterday for a sleep clinic test to see if I have sleep apnoea (I have) and took my camera with me, but slept for most of the trip, so no new pictures for you from that part of the country.
There were some magnificent magnolia trees to be seen, but so many have already posted photos of them, I desisted. It's so much nicer if they have grown in the member's own garden.
