Taking photos of the spring flowers for Arta

Who knows what the next two photos are?

  1. You couldn't have had your camera out when I would have liked it more. I don't think I have ever noticed the pear blossoms. They are beautiful. And you are down so low to the water with the skunk cabbage. Just beautiful.

    Thanks for showing me the narcissus. I planted those bulbs probably 25 years ago, while the house was still a wooden tent for us.

    The spring flowers are on the trees. I would be walking under them and breathing the scent in deeply. I would notice again how good it feels to really fill my lungs with air, right to top capacity, so that I couldn't get any more oxygen in and the then breathe out in a slow steady stream. Oh how relaxing that would be for me.

    Thank you for taking the pics and for putting them up, Mary. I will come back and look again in a few hours. One viewing was not enough.

  2. I love the dew on that penultimate photo. Is it a strawberry blossom?

    And how about that third one in. If I make the photo really big on my phone, and zoom in, I can see so many fine hairs on the bloom.

  3. I was doing the same thing with my screen, magnifying it to take a closer look, as though those photos weren't close enough. I always want an extreme close-up, when just a close-up should do.
