   Not early for No Cal. They only really get a month or so of Winter. No fall season to speak of either. Sort of a 8 month long Spring really.

   I really like the light in this shot. There is no direct sunlight to overexpose the flowers or surrounding background and it has a nice effect against the white flowers.

    I was going to post the same thing as my paisano: great detail and color.

    Are these cherry flowers?

    merci beaucoup.

    Nell: I thought they were cherry blossoms, but our cherry trees have not even started blooming yet. So it may be a different type of cherry blossom, or perhaps plum. I am no expert on these matters.

    I can identify the bee though! =)

    another great bee shot – I’m jealous, our late winter is still far from over and the hives are all hibernating so no new bee macros from me for some time – I’ll stick to the ice formations…

    It’s so good with the blue too – it just adds to the vividness of the white petals. Lovely.
