Here’s a pretty pink flower for your Tuesday viewing pleasure, taken two years ago when trees were in full bloom. Still waiting this season…

Is this a Japanese cherry blossom or something else?

Photo of the Day: Nature Competes

This delicate little tree bud was covered in snow and ice earlier this week during “Winter Storm Q.”

The trees in the Midwest are ready for spring, but the weather patterns clearly say it’s still winter.

Project 52 Week 12: March Showers

As I edited this week’s photos, I noticed that I spent most of my time shooting flowers and trees. It rained for about 5 days straight this past week, but whenever it wasn’t pouring, it was hard not to notice all the beautiful blooming flowers and budding trees. Spring has definitely arrived! I chose this as my photo of the week because it isn’t the typical tulip or daffodil shot.

Rain drops glisten on leaves right after a storm. (Anyone know what type of plant this is?)

Day 94: Looks can be deceiving

Two days ago I posted a photo of some pretty pink buds on a tree. Within 24 hours, those buds turned into this! Even though it looks like a beautiful spring day, it was really only 40 degrees outside yesterday.

Yesterday was such a great spring day! We went for a long walk and noticed lots of budding flowers on the trees. Today many of those buds blossomed – a sure sign that my favorite season has finally arrived!
