Spring blooms come quickly in the front yard. Our first tree, which Helaine thought might be a weeping cherry… but maybe not, unfurled this weekend.
“You’d better get out there quickly,” Helaine reminded me. “The flowers only last a few days.”
The memo was received at “Bee Headquarters.” There was an army of fat bees flitting around finding pollen. Thankfully bees don’t have allergies!
Over the next week or two Connecticut will explode in spring colors before settling into the lush green that’s summer. I’ll keep “Clicky” at the ready.
Beautiful pictures!
Geoff, thank you for taking and sharing these photos! Just lovely! I remember emailing you when it was 30 something days til spring…We’ve made it!
It’s nice to see the flowers and trees blooming, but it’s early by about 2 weeks. This is one of the earliest years in a long time I would say!
Beautiful pictures Geoff. I always look forward to seeing your photography. What lens did you use to take the photos????
Nick – Tamron 70-200 f/2.8. I believe I was shooting at f/2.8. Camera is Canon Xsi 450D.
Geoff – I thought that you had a Canon 300D “digital rebel”. . . When did you get a new one?
My daughter now has the Rebel. I got the camera last July for my birthday and lenses from Santa.
