Taken with Canon 450D 60mm Lens.
Comments most welcome and always appreciated :)
I have 2 Fuchsias, these early spring leaves and buds have appeared on the larger tree which is about 8 feet high, and very old. Just as pretty as its foliage is its silvery bark which peels off in long strips. I have heard Fuchsia berries can be made into jam but I have never tried it. Has anyone??

Happy Friday to all viewers :)

This is lovely Lyn, and as far as the jam is concerned I have not heard of that, that would be interesting to try if it's true.

Beautiful capture of this early indication of spring Lyn. In Germany they make jam out of many things but I have never heard of fuchsia jam. But apparently it is there. See the link

Our season is winding down and yours is starting to warm up LE. The buds look really good.

Around here Lyn fuschia are potted palnts or hanging baskets so I can't imagine one 8ft. tall! Lovely lighting.
