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!
Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter by signing up on the right sidebar, so that you can keep updated about the challenge winners and our upcoming challenges!

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!

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.

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!

Thank you, Jody! Landscapers plant a lot of wildflowers in Southern California and they’re always a pleasure to spot.

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.
