There's been a flurry of crocus poppings up around us recently (Sutton, Surrey, Croydon borders) and these images were snapped in the Oaks Park, at the southern edge of the London Borough of Sutton. Well, its the time of year, and it just HAS to be done !

Thanks Steve and Andrew ... very glad you liked them. They don't last long especially with the changeable weather there has been, so I was glad to have grabbed these shots when they were in their prime.

Once again I was delighted with the performance and ease of use of the Tamron AF70-300macro, which was in macro mode for most of these, making nice close shots easy. AF was excellent in this mode also, fast and accurate.

Another vote for number 2
