Several from Missouri. How many of you know what number 5 is?


Your 5th image looks like some oak buds just beginning to bud, but I'm betting, knowing you, they might be something a lot different.

I love seeing the first blooms of the year start to appear. I plant new bulbs every fall and really enjoy seeing what comes up. And when the fruit trees start to blossom I really get excited. I am looking forward to seeing the first blooms of spring from your neighborhood.


This is what I'm looking for in MI.
can't wait to see what other states have.

I'm trying to stick to what should be spring flowers, few of which have sprung up here yet. I'll start with pussy willows and baby ferns.

p.3 Beautiful and delicate, Green Pea


Thank you, it has been a lot of fun trying out ideas I've gotten from this forum and recent challenges since starting out.(depth of field, rule of thirds, and comp) No more auto focus for me.
