Witch Hazel
Uploaded: April 08, 2015 | Entered: April 08, 2015 03:43:29
Blossoms appear in late winter and normally are still surrounded by ugly, dry, brown leaves, making photographs unappealing. This year the blossoms emerged and then we had another 20 inches of snow. The brown leaves dropped off, so in 20 years, this is the first time I've had a decent photo of these wonderfully fragranced blooms.

Great capture and it sure is so worthwhile waiting for the blooms. I'm sure we'll be enjoying more of your Spring captures Michelle. #11282646Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
