More signs of spring...

The buds of an ornamental pear tree that stands in our front yard. I captured this at the end of last week--as of this weekend, the tree was in full bloom. These tiny buds sprung open and completely covered the tree with white flowers. They're delicate and don't last long, but they're beautiful while they last.

Another photo soon...

Do you take guest contributor photos ever? LOL

Funny you should ask, Rick--yes, I absolutely do! I do this thing called Guest Photo Fridays. Send me a picture, along with a story, and I'll feature it on the next Friday!

Will do. I just saw one from our Amish country trip that I really liked. I'll e-mail it to you so you can put it on next Friday. Thanks! Hope your week went well.

Cool, Rick--I'd look forward to seeing it and posting it. The week went well...my group had an offsite in San Francisco, so I've got a bajillion pix to post, so look for more soon!

Fantastic shot! Flowers are taking over my garden as well. Look forward to your next shot.
