Spring Blossoms
The trees that blossom each year, has the promise of spring. The colors can be seen all over the San Joaquin Valley in a lovely array of colors. This image was taken in natural sunlight with the Nikon D700 and the 105mm Nikkor lens.

  Hi Nadia: Thank you very much for the kind comment. These trees are in our front yard and believe that they are fruitless pears. I am not much of a farmer. Take care, Merna

  You're teasing us with spring Merna. I just posted another snow photo taken at my place.

Beautiful blossom, skillfully photographed. Your colorful but blurred background nicely promotes the blosom details.
