As the last of the snow falls on the last of the clinging autumn leaves, the buds of the American Beech are ready to swell with lush greenery -- next month.

Very nice! I especially like the detail in the snow on the leaves and the streaks of falling snow.

At least you got the opportunity to make a superb image with falling snow. Mother Nature apparently is skipping Winter and now Spring going directly to Summer in Minnesota. Well done Wayne. I like the detail and the overall presentation.
