It was a balmy 60 degrees Fahrenheit (16 degrees C) today and I couldn't believe it as I traipsed around the yard getting used to the new equipment...shooting everything I saw. I probably should have time stamped this one, as I'm sure it won't be around in May when they're supposed to pop open.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

Wasnt quite that warm here today but we were in the 40s..much above average. Very nice & clear shot of the bud! I'd say you passed your macro test with that camera, PJ! I'll put a gold star on top along with a smiley face! Don your cap & gown ma'am! *Pomp & Cirumstance plays in the background*

WHAT IS MAN WITHOUT THE BEASTS? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected. ~Chief Seattle VISIT MY GALLERY

If I read your words,I can say, it's not only a warm season in Europe!
We are still waiting for the first snow in the Netherlands!
Beautiful picture you've taken with your new camera!
See you!

Even I enjoy the warmth and no snow, I know it is of bad reason. But looking at your picture makes me even smile. Its a wonderful spring-peace, so it will live long here in the galeries.

I would be happy, seeing you in my galerie. Today I've posted Vienna
Oh my! I was just fretting over the confusion this weather must be creating for the birds and the flowers. Not to mention all the other critters of NE. I love to see the blooms, but not before the snow and freezing ground temps. I think some of the bulbs need that extreme cold. I do recall there was a NE summer that never came back in the early 20th century. I wonder if this will be the year winter never came? This is however a very fine macro shot, PJ. Are the crocuses up yet?

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Hello P.j. we are having the same kind of weather in Europe. Here in North Germany we have had until now only once a light snowfall for a couple of hours. The temp.s stay around 8-9 deg.(C). There is no more doubt that global warming is on in full force. Your photo is well taken and you should put the date on it. - Raj

All that glitters is not gold.
Great macro PJ. I also have my Lilac like this but it was just before Christmas. We also have pic some summer mushrooms here in the middle of December so the Global warming is a fact :( I say the same as Raj....put a date on this.

aaack! Is spring coming already?! Well, thank you for capturing the advent so beautifully. That lilac bush is going to give us many gorgeous shots this year, I think.

Very nice, PJj. You inspired me to check my lilac, but no sign of green on the buds here.

There have been trees budding here, too. Hope your lilacs can survive a cold snap, if it comes! Looks like you are having a great time with your camera.
