Spring in Northern Germany

[rodo]

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:



Forsythia blossoms:



Cherry blossoms:



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



And finally, the spruce trees in the forest:

Thanks for sharing these beautiful blossoms

...made even more wonderful in that I don't have to suffer their pollen.

I would love to make an icon from the purple-leaf plum photo -- of course you and the comm would be credited. Are you willing?

:-) Of course you can use them. Credit is really all I ask for.
