I'm ba-ack... I left the forums to go have kids, etc back in 2013 but I'm back now and ready to participate in the contests! I've recently (like last 3-4 weeks) switched to Daz Studio from Poser...still getting used to it and building up my library (with lots of free things).
As soon as it started to get warm, I immediately put the cushions on the chairs on my deck and started relaxing in my spare time! That, for me, is how spring starts!
Spring into... relaxation!

@Perlk! I haven't seen you in forever! But then again I have been floating in and out over the past few years too. Welcome back! Nice work! Looks like you have gotten the hang of DAZ Studio pretty quick!
Good to see you Skywalker77! Er, @Sky77 now :-) Thanks - it's been a learning curve but I'm obsessed and playing with it just about every day!
So true! I am grateful for all the new features that are built in, but my little brain is spinning trying to figure out all the things I can do inside Daz now.

Mary did not appreciate her parents' efforts to ensure she woke up on time after 'springing forward' into Daylight Savings Time.

This is brilliant - love it!!!
Thanks; glad you like it!
Fantastic render! I love the expressions. Daylight savings was exactly what came to my mind when I read "spring forward" too.

I'm sorry to hear! I hopefully you have a nice a view as your render! I really like the fur effect on the... fur.
Very pretty! Very "springy"! Nice use of the replicator tool.

Sorry had a weird double post / deja vu thing going there...
Thanks Sky77! Yeah, that was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the challenge.

LOL! Very nice work. I love the lighting - quite dramatic! I shall have to rethink my entry now as my "extremely original" idea is obviously far from!

The image is called
The First Annual 'Springing Forward' Race
[Report extract from the local paper] 'The race was to see who was the fastest person to use the 'Spring Things' (for want of a better name) to cover 100m. This is the first time the event has been run, so it was not as popular as the organisers hoped, and there were only four entrants. Maybe next year's event will be better attended, as all competitors and audience enjoyed the event enormously. At the start of the race there was not a lot of agreement over how to use the 'Spring Things', and one competitor thought that bouncing backwards would be the best way. However instant disqualification awaited her - it was the 'Springing Forward' race, after all, and the clue was in the name.. Standing on the 'Spring Things' took care and co-ordination (even with the competitor's shoes were glued to the spring board) which didn't come easily to any competitor. After a shaky start Alysha in lane 4 took a commanding lead and won by a good 20 metres, with Ki in lane 6 coming in fractionally ahead of Vicky in lane 5 after abandoning her novel rabbit hop method 5 metres from the start line and catching Vicky up at the 90 metre point. All competitors fell over at least twice and were helped onto their springs by members of the audience. Alysha's prize was a small replica of the strange obilisk that appeared in the woods this January, and she goes home secure in the knowledge she won the daftest race in the sporting calendar.'

Not sure the background HDR should count as paid, as the HDR's are part of the free DS 4.x Pro bundle. It only costs if you don't get DS too.
