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:

Forsythia in particular is nondescript for fifty weeks of the year—and then explodes into an exuberant golden firework; I’m moderately surprised that it isn’t up there with the flowering cherry as an emblem of the poignant beauty of transience.

And your woodland shots, with the shadowy receding columns of spruces and the gnarled complexity of the oak against the delicate lattices of underbrush, have the air of frontispieces to a fairytale.

Wishing you many years of fun with your new tool!

Have a forsythia palette: variations on the theme of yellow.
