Earlier this month, I shot some photos at Hoerr Nursery in Peoria, IL as the trees and plants began to show signs of spring. Every year I try my best to capture some great spring colors and scenes locally on my down time. This year I once again was quite happy with the photos I shot with my Canon DSLR cameras. I've featured a good handful of some of my favorites from my spring: 2015 collection below:
Blue is one of my favorite colors!
Tulips!
A wide assortment of marigolds!
A personal favorite!
A golden-hour shot of an apricot tree
A flowering crabapple tree
Stunning detail!
A well-framed hibiscus shot!
Incredible!
I really like the angle of the blurred background in this shot...
More good stuff...
The beauty of Mother Nature combined with a macro-lens can produce great results!
The colors and lighting were great in this greenhouse!
Cirrus clouds made for an interesting background for this photo...

After finishing up my spring: 2015 collection I visited a couple of local zoos in the local area this past weekend as well and I'll post photos from those two days at a later date.
