Spring in Northern Germany

I finally got a new camera - just in time for spring to hit. Most of the trees around here don't have any leaves yet, but a lot have started to blossom. Here's a couple of closeups from the last couple of days and weeks, as well as two pictures that show off how good my new camera is at making things look a bit moody:

First up, Purple-leaf plum blossoms:

Regular plum blossoms:

As for the bonus pictures, first, have an oak:

And finally, the spruce trees in the forest:

The smell of plum blossoms is my favorite thing about spring. Luckily we we have a lot of those here, even around the communist blocks where i live in Belgrade, there’s a few plum trees around

Yes, they were, many people don't know that but for instance in the blocks where I live, there's essentially a park between each of the towers, so there is greenery and trees among the concrete slabs. And yes, some fragrant flowers such as plums and lilacs.
