The crocus are fading away... yet other species start to bring up leafes and blossoms

Bruno, this is a pleasant image.  I'm really curious about the origin of the name of the butterfly.

So many beautiful images! :)
Spring is in Belgrade, too. Or, maybe, 27°C means that here is summer already :)

+1. Another view - spring comes to the Meguro River. Captured with a Jupiter 3 50/1.5 lens on a Fuji X-T1 @ f1.5.

MikeS: this is a superb composition. Lovely pic with subdued colors.

... you might try an alt.edit with more push & pop on the color & conmtrast side.

Are these all photographers on the bridge? The Web must be full of picture from this vantage point!
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Great images..
Those cherry blossoms - makes such a beautiful display.
It's autumn in South Africa. And right now cold enough to get the winter pj's out.
And you talk about spring *sigh..

Thanks for your comments, Frank. Yes, they are mostly photographers - in their thousands. Cherry blossom viewing is a big event here.

I did a further edit to brighten the image a little and push the contrast. Thanks for the suggestion - hope it presents a little better.

And thanks for your comment, Elsa.
