In Bloom

Gallery: LandscapePosted March 4, 2013180 views4 comments

Out this morning at the local nature preserve and I found lots of trees/shrubs in bloom. We've had some warm days with sun which has really got things popping. The grass greened up months ago with the first rains but everything else waits for the warmer/longer days before beginning their new life cycle. Lots of pretty scenes but I liked this one the best of what I captured. Soft lighting due to high fog obscuring the sun. Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.

We've got a foot of snow coming hours away, and you gots blooms ? Man I love California's diversity.
I can smell the beauty from here...

Very nice Peter. Nice seeing some spring colour instead of snow. Nicely done.

Beautiful sppring colors. Here it's still all grey in grey. Finally we had a couple of sunny days after being for almost two weeks covered by fog.

Peter, This is really a pretty scene and I especially enjoy your larger version. A wonderful look and mood goes along with this picture. I'm plowing about 10" of new snow!
