First spring flowers and second vaccination!

This is what greeted me this morning in our front garden; I knew there were buds on the daffodils and that the tulips were up but had no idea that the crocus had exploded overnight.

It’s been almost a year since DC was in lockdown, when the only thing I could photograph was our garden. I hope to do that again this year but also would like to go further afield. I just got my second vaccination yesterday, so maybe that will finally be possible.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

Still standing, for now, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/640s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Congrats on getting your second shot Helen. We are somewhat behind you on that, but hopefully will catch up.

Congratulations on both. The flowers are lovely and a joy to see but the vaccination is a wonderful step forward. We will be some weeks before getting our jabs up here in Canada land.
