Another fine step in spring’s progress: Our dwarf flowering almond (Prunus glandulosa) is living up to its name in fine shape. A single blossom is about an inch in diameter.
It was very windy yesterday, and it took several tries to get a satisfactory image during the momentary and infrequent lulls between gusts. It was also my mom’s birthday; she would have been 104. Happy birthday, Mom!

how lovely
Thanks, Taphian. Es freut mich, daß es Dir gefällt.
Gorgeous photo and I love your editing with it.
How nice of you to say so–all I did was some minor tweaking in Camera Raw and a minimal canvas filter in PhotoShop. Glad you like it!
This looks like a tree we should have in our yard. Nice remembrance for your mom, Gary.
It is a treat to behold. It’s not a tree, but rather a bush that’s about 3 feet tall, and we love it. Yes, Mom is well-remembered, and thanks for your kind words, Steve.
Lovely image, Gary. Adrian
Thanks, man!
