Signs of spring are all around us in nature: Nettles and fiddlehead ferns are growing, flowers are in bloom, and soon we’ll be able to see devil’s club leaves and spruce tips.

Send us your best outdoors shot that epitomizes “spring” in a photo. We’ll choose the winner and give him or her a $5 gift certificate to the Rookery Cafe. All photos will be featured in a photo slideshow online.

Email us your photos to outdoors@juneauempire.com, or share them with us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram (@juneau.life) using the hashtag #SpringPhotoContest. We’ll announce the winner next Friday, May 11.

Happy photographing!
