"Spring" photos and next theme: "Lines"

Since the spring equinox on March 20 came and went, weather in Wyoming has been temperamental — sunny one day, blustery the next. For the photo theme, we received spring photos from this year and some from last spring.

Our next photo theme is "lines."

We invite photographers of any age and skill level to submit entries for our photo themes.Please send submissions to web@powelltribune.com. Photos may be submitted as jpegs, tiffs or PSDs. Please include the first and last name of the photographer with entries. For more information about our photo themes, see our blog entry. We'll publish one or two shots in the print edition and post the others on our blog. Please submit shots that were taken recently.

This shot, taken by Willie Marcus, is titled "The Nest."

This is another picture taken by Willie Marcus, titled "Soon to Emerge."

Fred Burris of Powell took this shot of his wife's Christmas cactus. It bloomed in December, but then surprised Burris this spring. He said, "It bloomed again during middle of March. It was loaded with flowers. A beautiful surprise."

Yancy Bonner, the Tribune publications manager, captured this shot of emerging buds.

Donna Rae Wageman of Cody got this shot, "Spring On The Ranch," last May.

Controlled burns — that sometimes become unruly — are one of the annual signs of spring in the Powell area. Ilene Olson, Tribune news editor, took this shot during a burn at Apple Valley.

Ilene also took this picture of firefighters controlling the burn, which flared up.

Karie Brady submitted this shot of a spring day last year. With the green grass and trees, it makes us look forward to warm spring days!
