Spring has (hopefully) sprung where you live! In this challenge we want you to head outside and see if you can capture the beauty of spring in all it’s glory. If you happen to live somewhere where the snow and ice have yet to release their grip, that’s ok too – we’d love to see what Spring looks like in your area too.
On Wednesday, March 20th (at 2pm EST, so be sure to submit your entries before that time, even at 1:59pm!) we’ll choose 1 judge’s choice winner, 5 runner ups, and 1 audience choice winner & share their entries here on LetsBeWild.com, announcing the winners by the following day! Send your friends to this page to leave a comment-vote for your entry to win the audience choice award!

Spring is indeed what we are longing for…but it’s snowing heavily and the temperature is about 5 degrees below zero. Should I enter snow photos or should I enter spring photos showing spring as it will look like when it arrives here? (photos from last spring?) See you!
How about a mixture of both!
Lovely subject, being down under we are just moving into autumn, but I have so many spring photos in my files I will enjoy going through them for this challenge
Ever since I snapped these pics – I have been chomping at the bit anxious for someone to post a photo challenge for spring! Thanks so much for the opportunity to share!

I love these turkeys! Great shots KK!
I can see why you’d look forward to share. They are really showing off!
Glad to be taking part in another challenge, though we’re heading into autumn here in South Africa!

Best wishes to you all
no mistaking the swallow-tail there – and what a beautiful head & markings
What a nice theme. 🙂
hi, all inpatiently waiting for spring, this morning -21C so not that many signs of it yet.
I remember what it is…the colors and smells… here is my entry

Love the cow parsley shot Ritva!
I especially liked the flower-lined path.
So many of us are tired of snow and waiting patiently for spring. Here is a respite, if only through pictures…

cute idea with the shovel head
We here in Indonesia only have two seasons, rainy and dry season. Can i post something when in rainy season? 😀
Definitely!
What a lovely topic! And I have lovely all around in my garden! Check it out:

Thanks for checking it out! – B
Nice photos showing Spring is very near and blossoming now. Especially like the Buck Brush shot. Wonderful colors in the photos.
what a bright bounty!
My contribution … Spring like autumn in sub-tropical Queensland

these pictures denoted the light fun of spring!
The bird photo is fantastic – not to mention all of the lovely spring green and texture in the shot!
Great shots! Neat how it can be two different seasons in different parts of the world
That it is 🙂 given that my spring like fotos are in fact autumn fotos 🙂
Here are my representative images from being out and about in Tennessee during the past couple of weeks or so: http://humantriumphant.wordpress.com/2013/03/18/wild-weekly-photo-challenge-spring/
I love the nest photo!
Thanks, Barbara. It appears that it was a community nest, and the ducks didn’t seem disturbed to allow me near enough to take pictures of their little-ones-in-the-making. 🙂
My entry 🙂

I absolutely love this shot! I have relatives in Holland, and we have heard about the season as it progresses there. This is just amazing and should be an award winner!
Wow, thank you so much Barbara, that is high praise! Yeah, the seasons in northern Europe are very interesting indeed, although cold! 🙂
good eye! I couldn’t help but wonder how many people might pass something like that in a day and miss the beauty in the way you’ve reflected upon it.
Here is a reflection back on spring past. We are headed into autumn here. http://wp.me/p2PqVo-cv
what a sweet, sweet picture!
The lambs are just so cute to take pictures of.
What a sweet face!
Spring is my favorite season and it comes early in San Diego!

those fields of flowers are spectacular!
Thank you, Jody! Landscapers plant a lot of wildflowers in Southern California and they’re always a pleasure to spot.
Here’s my entry this week, with pictures I took yesterday on my lunchtime walk.

Thanks! 😉
At least I found something…http://wp.me/p1hCI2-27P
I enjoyed your depictions of how spring is forcing itself upon winter, leaving it no choice but to retreat 🙂

apparently I missed the Reply to you – let’s try this again, in the appropriate place:
they’re all wonderful, but the hummingbird really drew me in

I agree with your take on Spring – one of my favorite things to do in the spring when my boys were younger was to go visit the duck pond & let them feed the ducks. We would walk around & stay occupied there for hours. One of my fondest springtime memories. Thanks for resurrecting it!
My pleasure – that sounds like a wonderful way to spend time in the spring, especially with young kids. Their joy and excitement of exploring nature must have been a special experience for you all. Thank you for sharing your fond memories.
