Re: Flowers 2011 (Photoclubalpha Flora)
Now I'm back in the milder south of the UK there seem to be spring flowers everywhere. First from the garden.

More from the garden, but moving from the border to trees and shrubs.

I had a quick trip to a local wood to see how things were there.

DA will be pleased to know that the Bluebells are out but not quite in full swing. I am planning another more comprehensive trip back to this wood.

Lovely flower shots Birma, things have changed back home in that short time. I can't choose which I like best, the Bluebells are pretty but so are the rest...I think maybe the Cherry blossom by a tiny margin....but the Apple blossom is good too hmm

Re: Flowers 2011 (Photoclubalpha Flora)
Very nice set of photos Birma. I am partial to blue, so Forget-me-not & Bluebells do it for me. Thanks for sharing.
Re: Flowers 2011 (Photoclubalpha Flora)
Hi Birma, : )
Your garden did it again! Great tree blossoms; the striking whiteness of the blossoms dissolving into the bright light is enticing.
All are sweet shots though. Good that your garden proceeded with its natural progress while you were having a splendid time away on the islands. This way you never cease to shoot priceless beauties...

Thanks Greg, DA and Yildiz - all comments much appreciated . It has been very flat light here for the last few days and so close-ups seem to be the thing to do.

Apple blossom
And on Greg's request, apricot blossom. They survived a severe hail, I'm amazed
These 3 shots were made with A700 + Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f/2.8

Yeah thanks Doc, that Apricot tree sure does produce plenty of blossom, it must be healthy. When you look at Birma's Cherry blossom and compare it too your Apricot blossom, they do seem remarkably similar.

Great celebration of spring in your garden, Dr. Harout.
I like the blue sky against the white blossoms also but somehow I'm more drawn to your so-called low-key shots with a white background for its subtility and fragility.
Thanks for sharing and I hope you enjoy some delicious apricots and apples. : )

The Clematis is starting to flower on our garden fence, and with the great sunshine we had today I had to take some pictures, even though it is not in full bloom.
