Opening Soon
I'm still very much stuck on Spring and it continues to unfold everywhere I look. Come walk with me and I'll share some of my surroundings with you.
Beautiful shades of pink and green. These leafy buds are about to open.
My favourite fuzzy branch is about to bud into life. In a few days, I'll post another photo. It's already come a long way since this day.
Colourful maple buds, after a morning rain.
More pretty catkins. These might be elm. Or not.
Delicate white blossoms with pretty, pink stamens. What says spring better than this?
Last year's burrs still look pretty to me.
Some brand new leaves have that autumnish look to them.
A fresh rainfall encourages growth.

Thanks for the walk, you have some beauties there. Spring is all around. IT is overcast here today. We haven't had rain since February.So we are looking forward to a good spring rain.
Beauty! And I LOVE the title!!
What spring delight!
so very spring. so very lovely .. and so very allergy laden .. thankfully we are getting some rain to wash all the pollen away ..
Lovely pictures, as always. I enjoy your macros; that flower's stamens look like they are poking out of my computer screen! :-)
Oh, and what a blossom! Maybe apple?
Lovely and amazing how those little buds transform into flowers and leaves.
Those are amazing macros. Beautiful beyond words. What lens do you use? (Yes, I'm into the technical details).
Now, that's spring!! ;)
Beautiful shots!!
Our spring has really sprung here as the trees are almost fully done leafing out. That second photo really was shocking to me...don't know why, but it looks ....well you know!
Love your photos...sure says spring!!
Hugs

Your close up work is incredible!!
Always takes my breath away when I view your images Hilary. Great title, btw!
i'm partial to your budding furry branch. rather looks like a dewclaw on a pet's leg. :)
The second one puts me in mind of the neck of an ostrich - your macro shots leaves me sadly lacking, I so admire your talents.
i love seeing the new life on the cusp of burting forth...this is a bit of the magic that is spring...lovely pics...
Lovely way and so much beauty to enjoy. I love that fresh spring growth.
That was a nice walk, plenty of spring left in it. Beautiful spring photos Hilary.
all very nice
you're a miracle with a macro :)
these are beautiful
I love little buds - so innocent and hopeful
and droplets of rain add so much beauty
I vaguely recall how much fun a macro lens can be.... ;)
That hairy twig puts me in mind of a camel's leg.
Don't ask....
I love the picture of your favorite fuzzy bud. It looks like it's about to burst open as we watch.
Your pictures are good medicine for the heart.
Always like your walks. You teach us so much. Now great photos really help to get our attention.
Wonderful shots of the new beginning. We are way ahead of you and yet we have flowers just now putting on buds.
This is brilliant , your blog is great , I add you to friends
Yet again: WOW!
Love these close ups. What is that fuzzy branch? Spring has sure sprung here!! :P My car is yellow from all the pollen.
Lovely macros, nice series of spring buds.
Lovely shots of all the buds and leaves. We've got a lot of plants waiting to open up here, too. It'll be quite the colorful scene when everything blossoms.
So much life going on right before our eyes and capturing them with the lens makes them pop! Simple things that we take for granted every season of change.
I just love walking with you! My crape myrtle leaves are all red and green like the ones you posted. So pretty!
Nice pics Hilary, and I envy you your spring as we head into winter. Mind, we are having an Indian summer at present. Autumn is giving us better weather than this last summer ever did - Dave
P.S Hilary, can you please e-mail me with instructions on how to eliminate those silly coded words that come up when commenting? (for my N0 2 blog) - cimba7200@gmail.com - thanks, Dave
Lovely captures! Superb visual treat!
Enjoyed this nice walk with you. Always like macro images - something I notice quite often in TV shows and movies. Makes for a impressive image.
Like the water droplets on the maple buds a lot.
Looking forward to seeing more photos of your world. Am trying to get around the blogging world a bit more but never seem to get out and about as much as I would like. Things get busy with work or life and ....!
Take care.
Even here in Eastern Ontario, things are moving apace.
Thanks to you we can see all the interesting textures and things we might not get to see otherwise!
Simply magic stuff especially the pink blossom. Thank you.
I love all these close ups, especially the focus of the stamens on that white flower. So lovely.
Tender is the sight.
I feel there is fleeting sense of loss; yet a prized (lens)gain has spring popping everywhere. :)
Oh, I love the dewy buds - so tender!
I can feel my own fuzzy little heart opening to these images, sweet with the promise of new life.
Thanks for stopping by, everyone. Your kind words are always very much appreciated.
Lovely! Glad spring is on time in your neck of the woods.
just love that last one, the soft colors, the beads of dew. just lovely.
At once, such an amazing and beautiful presentation of so many things we take for granted. Mother Nature is so beautiful thanks to your camera skills, Hilary. Thanks for sharing! :)
oh Hilary...we seem drawn to the same tenderness...so much beauty here...it makes my feel like weeping all over again.
Lovely photos. You capture spring well. I'm curious about Frank and the camel's leg, though. :)
