Camera:

Pentax K10D

Location:

Springvale, Victoria

Australia

Photographer Notes:

Sigma 105mm Ex Macro We've just been through the worst drought here in over 50 years, but with almost a week of solid rain there are signs of life appearing in what was a very barren lawn. The dusty ground is finally black again, and the first signs of green are appearing.

Great idea to illustrate your part of the world. Glad the drought has ended and new life is beginning to pop out.

What a great shot! There is hope, isn't there?

Hope springs eternal! Great capture, James, to give us a flavour of your home turf! If you need any more rain, just let me know...we have plenty to spare in the UK too!

Wonderful, James, a great symbol of hope. Too bad we haven't figured out how to evenly distribute rainwater and food throughout the world.

Great eye to see this and an excellent story line to go with it, James. It really is a brilliant symbol of hope and new spring life.

This shot captures the beauty of nature, even after there seems no hope. Very nicely done.
