This tree has such interesting shaped limbs. I like the twisting and curves of the branches. The thinness of the blooms shows off the trees shape nicely with a bit of eye catching bloom dazzle adornment, lol! I like seeing the hula girl in the early stages of blossoming.

The sky looks a bit dismal but still a good pic; love the greenery; the tree in the middle looks like he's making a comeback; nice white buds; does look cold though; good focus; like the different shades of green; brings out that grey sky. Nice work!

    awww...you're the best swimmer! It has been warm and sunny that past couple of days. I expect all the Apple Trees in my little orchard to just go crazy the next few days!! Thank you so much for having a look at this guy and for your always generous rating. I so appreciate it.

didn't I see this tree with snow on it? the clarity is great. the capture of the light is great. the angle of the shot of the colorful tree as well as the greenery elsewhere s great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall

Great shot of a tree with an interesting shape! The things I've seen in the forest where I shoot, this tree would be right at home. Looks like it could star in a horror movie! If I have one criticism, I wish your sky had some color.

    Must be you didn't see the notes Bill. Heavily overcast day and I never change sky or background in my images.....they are what they are. Do appreciate you having a look though. Thanks so much.

Coming from the north myself I would have been grateful to finally see buds on my apple trees! It gives you hope that winter will let go eventually. I like how this is contrasted against all of the very green pines. Nice work.

    lol....but I couldn't paint it catmal. It has been warm and sunny today so this little ancient Apple Tree will be looking a lot different in a day or so. Thank you so much for having a look....and for the lovely review. I do appreciate it.

Wonderful image - all about the apple tree getting ready to offer up some grand tastes in a couple of months. Yeah!!! The exposure - perfectly played for great natural lighting and great natural color. Great detail as well. Gives me a wonderful breath of fresh air! Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Spring has sprung despite the slight overcast illumination.

I can just imagine when this trunk will be filled with, not just cottony buds but fully opened blooms!

Verdant overtone is visually refreshing.

Natural colors & fine textures.
Good perspective & long depth of field...
Thanks for sharing...

A nicely composed shot in excellent flat light. The apple tree looks a little lonesome in this setting but is valiantly putting out blossoms. Great colors and sharp details throughout.

    lol....valiantly mm. Very good. That made me smile. It has 8 buddies...just ignored them the other day though. Sun is out and it's actually warm today so all of them should be doing some work the next few days. Thank you for having a look!!
