Two days of sunshine and Cornwall's a different place. The first daffodils and crocuses are out, a Red Admiral butterfly kept us company on our walk for a while, and the cherry blossom is opening. Winter won't have finished with us yet, but today was a reminder of what's to come :-)

Just beautiful! The vibrant colour, the contrast to the blurred background and the whole composition make a great wallpaper... Just the right desktop when one is fed up with winter ;-)

This is just beautiful and so delicate and the F stop is perfect too. Blurred enough to bring the buds right to the front of the image but not too blurred to make the foreground come on too strong. Really delightful!

What I love most about it besides the gorgeous lighting and colors are all the different bud/bloom stages and sizes captured here. Very pretty wallpaper. ;)

I'm really into goth rock and new wave. My favorite band is The Birthday Massacre. The guy in my avatar is, in fact, a guy. His name is Mana from the band Malice Mizer.

Lovely, classic background Si. I wanted to put an inspiring quote about spring here, but I can't remember it...

This is one of those beauties I almost missed. These blossoms are so delicate and I can just bet there equally fragrant. Great shot, Si, thanks for sharing.

I'm so glad you managed to keep a sharpness to the image, it just makes it that much better. Thanks for posting, this is amazing! :D

Cherry blossoms are one of my favourite things about the Spring time. I was wondering if I could use this particular photograph for a layout I'm doing on my LiveJournal page? It's such a clear and beautiful pictures... I adore the pink colours!
