Beautiful. Always wanted an apple tree. They don't grow much down in the Deep South.

@Viewfinder: Well, you can enjoy my apple tree! It's very old and very large! Thank you for your comment.

As optimistic as Spring usually is (when doesn't rain or snow).

@António Pires: We are well beyond the snow possibility now! Hopefully not enough rain to cause flooding...
Ron from Saint Louis, United States
... any day now! Beautifully composed, Betty!

Anita from West Nottingham, United States
Good job, Betty. I love this flower buds with a hint of color! I like having part of the photo blurred, as it enhances the sharp parts.

@Anita: Thank you, Anita. Your flower shots inspire me!

I think this shot would look great in black and white - although it would perhaps lose that sense of 'spring'...
