I caught this Firethorn in bloom this spring. It helps me to remember a much cooler time this year on the rolling Texas prairie.

Enjoy.

They resemble apple blossoms in a way. The dark green leaves are very attractive too. The contrasts are really nice between the white and green.

Such a pretty little flower and it stands out so well against the green.

It is like the 4th of July, the greens are exploding behind the beautiful white flowers. Very nice presentation, Don.

Superb image, Don, in every respect. I had a prickly relationship with a hedge of the stuff for about 20 years. This is the first time I could appreciate its beauty.

I was thinking the same thing as Cindy about the flowers looking like apple blossoms. Nice and rich...great clarity as well.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

Cool shot Don,My back garden has a 3 foot hedge of this stuff and the berries in winter are something else,Both orange and Red trouble is i have five blackbirds which find them very tasty so by the time i get home their mostly gone and i can't get a shot of them...
