    One of my favorite things to take pics of is my boys playing baseball.. Needless to say they started last month and I already have more then 500 pictures. :) Can't help myself. I love to see those smiles & joy it brings to do something they love so much!

    I love to get out riding and find really OLD barns. They make beautiful photos plus they are becoming a thing of our past. Prettier in spring because most have weeds and wild flowers grown up!!

    We always go to a garden for pictures. Sometimes we go to our "local" one that's an hour away or we go to the one where my grandparents live eight hours away.

    One of my favorite things to take photographs of in the spring are the hummingbirds returning to feed on Salvia bush near our home. If I can catch them in action,that is which requires a bit of patience!! *also flowers blooming. Thanks for the chance! Theresa

    Well, since my niece was born in '09, she is my most favorite subject to photograph, no matter what the season! If I had to pick just one Spring thing, I would say flowers; I really love photographing flowers and nature in Spring and Summer. :-)

    I love taking photographs of my sons at their sporting events - soccer, track and cross country. The fast pace action makes it challenging but I surprise myself from time to time with getting just the right shot that sums up the season with one look at the photo.

    I love taking pictures of my kids outside in the Spring! We live in a place where we don't see the sun often, so it's a luxury when they're able to be outside enjoying it.

    For me it would have to be my cherry trees. The colors are so vibrant against the blue sky. I have to make it my desktop photo so I can enjoy it all the time!
