Opening

First warmth

We're having a surge of warm weather, a sudden bit of summer. The sun feels especially hot because the trees have no foliage yet. This morning, I sat outside in the backyard on a blanket, talking to Artist Friend on the telephone and watching the buds on my lilac bushes open.

Hope is the tender green of spring...or too early summer (feels like that here also)

What a beautiful picture! Did you really take it with a "point & shoot" camera? I'm loving this early
"summer," I'm just steeling myself for any more cold spells we may have...

No, I've got a Nikon D60 now. It's much better for these close-ups shots.
