spring announces her arrival

the beginning of bloom

The leaves you show uncurl like tiny fists
and bear small button blossoms, greenish white,
that quicken you. Now put your roots down deep;
draw light from shadow, break in on earth’s sleep.

    These are such beautiful photos of spring. I'm waiting eagerly to it. And through your pictures my longing grows indefinitely.
    Beautiful colors and bokeh.

    I used my Canon 50D and my favorite lens, the Canon 100mm macro. I use it for portraits as well though it's less practical as you have to walk away from your subject as not to capture pictures of their nose hairs (yes, it gets that close)! Macro's are fixed though, they do not zoom in or out.
