I was all about the cherry tree in our front yard this week. I took a few other pictures, too, but the cheery tree was the big thing. I photographed the tree Wednesday through Saturday.
April 2…
First buds…
First blooms…
Budding and blooming all over…
The center of the large bloom is, by intention, the only thing in sharp focus.
April 3…
See all the pollen?
Shooting into the sky….
April 4…
Raindrops…
April 5…
I took this one standing directly under the blooms…
Late bloomers on this “bunch”…
First bloom bites the dust…
Other shots taken today…
Azalea that is growing in and around the cherry tree….
Azaleas just starting to bud.
Lone dogwood bloom, taken when we were at Stone Mountain this evening, just before sunset.

Thanks so much, Marylin! TAKE THOSE PHOTOS! :)
The cherry tree blooms are just beautiful! I like the azalea is pretty also. And my absolute fav tree is dogwoods :) What, no pics of your “singing dog” this week ;) Just kidding :) Just trying to add some humor & make you smile :)
Heh… the “singing dog” made my Wordless Wednesday. :) Thanks for the compliments about my photos.
The 5th one and the 9th one are my favorite! Water droplets on flowers are so beautiful and serene.

Amy’s last blog post..Weekly Winners
Thanks so much, Amy. I had a blast taking them. Is Maine any closer to spring now? (I’m a little behind in responding to last week’s Weekly Winners, huh?!)
I like watching the progression. Happy Spring.

Thanks so much. I loved taking them! :)
Man, spring better get here after seeing all that! I miss the color, and that faint sweet smell of baby flower buds right after rain!
Lovely set this week.
Thanks! :) It’s amazing… since I’ve started taking photos how I see EVERYTHING so much more clearly. Does that make any sense?
These are all lovely, refreshing photos. I love the ones where there is a little bit of dew on the buds.
