getting ready

Buds are bursting off of branches, tulip and daffodil bulbs are reaching their greens toward the sky… all of nature seems to be preparing for the colorful extravaganza earth is about to throw in the next few weeks.

I took a piece of printer paper outside and slipped it behind my subjects before I took a picture. It was a cool little photography experiment that let them truly shine.

 

And now we await the blooms and blossoms… I must admit that I'm most excited for these fuzzy babes  below to unfurl. My star magnolia is getting ready for her annual showcase, and I can barely wait!
