Tree leaves and flowers unfurling As winter turns to spring, the bare, frost-covered branches begin to develop new buds and shoots. In March, watch for: ash, beech, oak and rowan buds bursting. first leaves emerging from alder, field maple and silver birch.
It's not quite spring yet but the flowering prunus (plum) tree is already coming into full blossom. A new era has begun with my Nikon D5300 arriving this morning and shot this just now. WOW .... I can't believe the clarity of this macro.
Spring has arrived in my garden brightening the days in East Yorkshire. Taken with an iPhone SE back camera.
When my late father-in-law helped me plant this pear tree at the bottom of my garden he said "You plant pears for your heirs". It bore its first fruit the year my son, his first grandchild was born. With the arrival of the Spring blossom and each year's late Summer crop we are reminded of a wonderful man.

I love crocus, I was lucky this year and had lots of them!
I have no idea what the name of this flower might be--I'm betting one of you will know. Amazing what beauty comes out of a combination of green, blue, yellow and white. Grandkids are arriving tomorrow, so will be hit or miss on here the next few days.

Spring Wildflowers. © Copyright 2019 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Bright yellow spring wildflowers carpet the hills of the Carrizo Plain National Monument.
As I drove a bit deeper into the Carrizo Plain National Monument last week I encountered this scene along a section of gravel road. These yellow flowers — I believe they are a daisy known as monolopia — covered vast areas from the lowest levels of the plain on up to the slopes of the surrounding mountains. I made the photograph on a somewhat special morning that had begun with thick ground fog. Eventually the fog broke up to leave behind blue sky with scatted fluffy clouds.
These flowers are a very short-lived phenomenon here, and they don't grow in such abundance every year. This has been a relatively good year for rainfall, and this area was hit by heavy rains from an atmospheric river storm a few weeks earlier. These wildflowers are opportunistic — in bad years they may barely make an appearance, but when the rains do come they make up for lost time and produce brief but astounding displays. (If you were to come back here in a bit more than a month you would find a very dry landscape and very few flowers.)
