When traveling you don't always have an opportunity to wait for good conditions to take pictures. Sometimes you get lucky and you hit the perfect weather and light and sometimes you just have to make due with what you get.
The snow is mostly gone, here on the prairies, but it will be some weeks before we see greenery and flowers blooming. I can’t wait! It has been a long winter and I sure could use a bit of color. Late spring or early summer images are great for it because all is fresh and green is bright and not dimmed by dust of late summer days.
