I can always tell when it's spring here, we have a bush just outside the french doors and it is covered in the brightest yellow blooms this time of year, this shot is taken from inside the bush with the samyang 8mm.

Very interesting shot SC. We have the same bushes over here, I believe it is Chimonanthus praecox, sometimes commonly called Wintersweet

Very nice - a sure sign of spring. It looks more like Forsythia than Wintersweet to me.
