Springy close-ups

nectarine blossoms

The first sign of Spring in my yard is definitely finding blossoms on our nectarine tree. I had to trick my camera into taking this one, so we could see it REAL close-up..

Next. . . while tinkering around outside, thinking of things to photograph, I saw something in a new way... can you tell what it is??

spikey!

why... it's the edge of a Hydrangea leaf. I honestly never realized they were spikey!

Oh wow, nectarines! YUM!

My favorite part about blossoming trees is the petal "snow" they make when they're done blooming!
