First Day of Spring: special “Spring Photo Contest” for 30 SBD winner announcement!

Hello fellow Steemians,

One week has passed by really fast since announcing my special contest dedicated to the first day of spring last week. I have to say that I was truly overwhelmed with your amazing response to the contest. The post received almost 1,000 views and dozens of fabulous entries. To see them all, you can attend the original post with all the submissions HERE.

It was extremely hard to decide on the winning images as they all were exceptionally good but after some deliberate consideration, I picked these three entries:

The first place and 15 SBD goes to @axeman for this entry:

Spring normally doesn't come very fast in Lithuania. All March can be still minus temperature (like presently) and finally only end of April - beginning of May the nature starts to wake up from the winter sleep. And then starts real blooming. This shot is taken at colourful sunset in the field of blooming poppies not far from Vilnius, Lithuania. Enjoy it!

The second place and 10 SBD goes to @itchyfeetdonica for this entry:

In spring time from March to May, in Hallerbos of Belgium, you can see a stunning purple-blue forest covered with a carpet of wild hyacinth flowers. I witnessed this lovely moment of a girl taking photos for her parents among the blooming bluebells. Later at sunset, I also captured the golden rays shining through birch trees onto the enchanting flower carpet.

The third place and 5 SBD goes to @dmytrokorol for this entry:

This spring is probably the most awaited for me. Mostly because of very dull winter this year with almost no snow where I live now. I just can't wait for nature to awake. I want to see the fresh green and blooming flowers. And thank you, Tomas, for this competition! It makes me feel the spring in the air :)

Please join me in congratulating to all three winners, their entries were just astonishing.

However, due to the enormous amount of great submissions, I decided to mention two more competitors as the runners-up to get them some more exposure and publicity. These are:

@pharmacygirl with this entry:

It´s Springtime! Spring is coming and today, as the sun was shining for the first time all week, we took our dog for a walk and suddenly I catched a sight of this lovely flowers. Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal. I love spring because the daylight hours are noticeably longer now and temperatures is warming up.

and @mespanta with this entry:

Every year during the spring time a lot of tourists come to Tatra Mountains in Poland just to see the violet field of crocuses. The most famous is Chocholowska Valley. I took this photo in small village where I used to go almost every year. This time I spent there Easter with my family, so after traditional breakfast we could enjoy this view.
