Peaches, Plums and Tulips

This week the weather has turned warm again, icicles have melted, and all the fruit trees are now in full bloom.

Everywhere I look I see rows of pink and sprays of white.

Flowers fill every inch of every outstretched plum branch.

How will such flimsy sticks support so many plums to come?

The peach blossoms look very much like azalea flowers to my untrained eye.

It's fun to come in close and find a water droplet hanging there precariously.

The tulips too are putting on a show, echoing the pink theme started in the orchards.

I find inspiration in the fresh, young buds unmarred by wind and sun and time.

But a flower's youth lasts only for a week or so.

There is much to do before the harvest moon.

The Framed Prints section of my site is growing.

Each week I add new framed prints featuring the photos of the week from this newsletter.

See more photos from this week's work or purchase greeting cards and prints: visit the Straight From the Camera section of my site.

Have a great week!
