Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life.
Wow, that is such a clear and detailed close up of those flowers. I love the lighting on them also. Very nice, Patti.

After I read Tigz comments I wanted to hear Ferry Cross the Mersey by Gerry and the Pacemakers. Now they all have pacemakers. Sorry. I envy your budding spring. All we have is budding snow. Beautiful colors. The buds remind me of the Dogwood. Nice hopeful post Patti.

Life is the pits sometimes, but God and your friends are always there to help you through it.
This is a very beautiful capture and very clear. The colours set against the sky make for a very pleasing shot. Well done!

Yesterday I was 'shouting' in one of my comments: 'Spring is in the air.', this morning, however, everything outside was white again because of hoar frost. Hope nature is that strong that these blossoms survive.
Beautiful capure Patti.

That is fantastic that you have blossoms in February. I have Cherry trees and every April I get blossoms similar to yours. But, this is really nice to see, now, in Winter.

If you have some extra time, please visit my gallery
Not sure if it is apple or cherry blossom - apple I think and what a wonderful herald of Spring - beautiful lighting and delicacy in this Patti :)

Possibly almond blossom? A beautiful and elegant shot with a carefully composed background too, which can make or break shots like these. This one's a sure winner!

there's no doubt about it, Spring really has sprung! Lovely picture with beautiful pastel pinks. Great clarity and great use of DoF.

I wish spring would hurry up and get to the Midwest! A lovely post, the clarity is excellent - an instant 10 in the VB!

"'Life is not a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in a pretty
and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up,
totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming,
"WOW! What a ride!"'
I love the cherry blossom, it comes so quickly and goes so fast. The Japanese have it right, holding big celebrations when it appears. This one's come out very early, especially for such a northern location. There's a huge one outside my window and it's not even in bud. Lovely reminder of what's to come Patti.

Beautiful...as usual. :) As crazy as it sounds, even here in the frozen Midwestern U.S. it looks like we'll be getting our first crocus blossoms here in the next week or so. I just hope I can get some shots as lovely as this one.

Anything that happens, happens.
-Douglas Adams, "Mostly Harmless"
A beautiful shot and so well focused! Here in the north east we had our first broods of Starling already. Unheard of! Sadly the chicks are coming to grief in the cold morning frosts but the power of Nature to adapt and take advantage so quickly to even the possibility of reproduction and growth is wonderful. Whatever damage we do, Life is there always ready and waiting to continue. +tmy+

so what is the past tense of Hang Glide?
This is quite an astonishing picture, absolutely astonishing! I love the intricate details in the flowers and the branches, the colors are magnificent - the light shade of the pink...just breath-taking.
One thing that makes this stand out from so many others, in my opinion, is the fact that there are a few flowers yet to bloom and you can really see the transition from the chill of winter to the life and warmth of spring. This is quite a special picture. I can just look at this for hours.
