These 49 Photographers Show What Spring Looks Like Around The World

Location: Yen Stream, Huong Pagoda, Hanoi, Vietnam

"With this photo, I wanted to show the beauty of Vietnamese culture to the world. This group of friends was all wearing an 'Ao Dai,' Vietnam's national garment. This outfit is inseparable from the image of Vietnamese women, both within Vietnam and beyond its borders, and especially at official ceremonies, conferences, and weddings. It is also one of the most popular uniforms for Vietnamese high school and university students. In this poetic setting with blooming flowers floating on the river, the authentic bamboo bridge symbolizes the connexion between the past and the present."

"While flying my drone above the tea plantations, I noticed a red dot running in the middle of the vibrant green alleys. Rather intrigued by that beautiful contrast, I decided to lower my drone to follow the red dot who happened to be a Hmong girl protecting herself from the sun with an umbrella."

"I met these two Hmong girls on the side of the road during my trip to North Vietnam. It was a mild day, where you could still feel the fresh air coming from the mountains. They had spent the afternoon picking these beautiful flowers that would be used for medicinal purposes in their tribe. Their lovely faces and beautiful smiles made me appreciate the moment."

"The black-naped monarch is a small bird that lives throughout tropical Southeast Asia. During spring, the female lays three eggs in a small cup-shaped nest up in a tree. In the photo, you can see the male bird feeding its new-born chick: unfortunately, it's the only hatching that remained alive in the nest, as it has been previously destroyed by a bunch of local kids who stole the 2 other eggs."

"I was lucky to capture the moment where a bee collected the pollen from a sunflower. The process of pollination is critical, and bees have a crucial role in this. As they fly from flower to flower, they transfer pollen with their legs. Over 80% of the world's flowering plants require a pollinator to reproduce. Bees are the most efficient pollinators. As I watched the whole process, I felt excitement and admiration for their work, transferring the pollen tirelessly from one flower to another."

Location: Sa Dec, Vietnam

"Sa Dec flower village provides a large number of trees and flowers to the southern Vietnamese regions, especially during the Vietnamese Lunar New Year or Tet Festival. Unlike normal plantations, flowers in Sa Dec are grown on high pergolas and water from nearby canals."

"I was photographing blue magpies, and suddenly this beautiful red fox appeared from the bushes. The fox is one of my favorite animals, and I never imagined seeing it in these circumstances, surrounded by lavender flowers. It was an exciting day!"

"Every year, the tulip fields are the first signs of Spring in the Netherlands. If you drive through particular farmer areas, you see them everywhere! This year, 2020, I thought I wouldn't visit my homeland fields as I was traveling the world with my partner (and our cameras). Just like everyone else on this planet, we were forced to go home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which meant that we had to go back to the Netherlands. As soon as our quarantine ended, we visited the Tulip Fields close to our home. My partner and I decided to take my mother with us, and we were delighted to let her see what we’re doing as photographers. We woke up at 5 am and drove to Noordwijkerhout to see the sunrise. My mother was pleased to model for us, and the happiness she radiated is something I will never forget."

Location: Ho Tay flower valley, Tay Ho district, Hanoi city, Vietnam

"With a total area of up to 7000 m2, the West Lake flower valley is like a garden of Eden in the heart of Hanoi. Previously this area was largely a deserted lotus lagoon; but since it's been restored with thousands of flowers, this land has turned so vibrant. When you step into this place, you step in a bubble of peace and quiet away from busy and noisy Hanoi. In this vast flower garden, there are thousands of flowers displaying their beauty, thousands of colors are opening before your eyes."

"During springtime in Sa Dec, you can notice the chrysanthemums blossoming everywhere you look. Visiting this village makes you feel so peaceful inside!"

@thuanvo (Vietnam)

"The blooming tulip fields make every spring special in the Netherlands. Seeing them from above makes it even more special!"

"It was incredibly windy on this day, and it wasn't easy to get the framing right, as the blossoms went in and out of focus constantly. I wanted to combine the softness of the blossoms with the imposing structure behind them, creating a strong yet beautiful contrast between nature and architecture."

"I went out to take a picture of this Indian Paradise Flycatcher in the scorching heat that morning, and it only appeared around noon. After running after it for a while, I was able to take some good pictures."
