Although I appreciate winter rains and days spent inside reading books and sipping hot drinks, the photographer in me longs for flowers and leaves and signs of life outside! I went outside in search of any sign that Spring might be on its way- and found some tiny buds on my plum tree.

Spring in January?! Don’t brag. We don’t get buds in WI until May! The first year we moved there I was sooo depressed. Loved the photo. Too bad I don’t know enough photography babble to comment on it’s merits :)!
Stunning. I love the monochrome look of these shots and the shallow depth of field.
