Springtime Growth

During a recent small group conversation, the question was asked "What do you like most about spring". My gut reaction is to answer that I love the fresh cool air that you can let into the house because its no longer to cold, and its not to hot yet. Yet from a photographic standpoint, I don't think there could be a much better time to photograph nature other than spring (except of course the grand colors available during fall). Which brings me to today's post. This is a close up shot of one of the branch's of the pear tree in our backyard. It is slowly blooming into one of those big white tree you see this time of year. And of course in about 2-4 weeks I'll have a tree full of leafs, but until then I have a tree full of photographic opportunity. Enjoy!
