HI There
It'll probably be winter again tomorrow, but just now spring has definitely sprung.

Here are a couple of shots with the GX100:
soon that old bike will have disappeared under the nettles (it's springs are definitely sprung!).:


Here is the first of the plum blossom outside our front door:



Let's see your spring shots (apologies for those living down under).

I'll have to get back to you on this one... the sun has set for today, but I just wanted to say I like your first shot... great camouflage!

We missed you at the weekend by the way ;)

Kind Regards

Brian

lol .... spring is not over ... Just that I meant to be in Japan this week and got held up with my job .... By the time I arrive the cherry blossoms will be gone ... I am in Hawaii .... all the seasons just melt into one long summer .....

The Geisha in the Photo is a man ... The pose is a traditional Geisha pose ,,,, this guy was just cruising around drinking everyones sake ..... very funny watching people watch him ...

The Plum blossoms are also very beautiful ,,,, your photographs remind me of my neighborhood in japan.... Thanks

I'd looked and thought 'that's a bloke' and then I thought not, but I'm glad you've confirmed it.

Thank you - I can see our plum blossom out of the bedroom window when I'm having a bath . . (yes, we do have a bath in the bedroom!).
it's a lovely time of year.

Really like the second one Jono. How are you getting along with the GX100? Do you miss not having a viewfinder to use? That would be the hardest part for me so I think the evf would have to be in play even though it does not seem to get very good reviews.

Lovely Will
What was wrong with your GRDII. . . are they good on the repairs?
all the best
Many thanks Jono, it was one of my first shots using the GT-1 converter.

I dropped my GR skiing and the built in lens cover stopped closing, also since it was minus 20 centigrade I think it effected the glue on the rubber grip which came loose. I've only just sent it for repair so I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
