Simply gorgeous photo, MarineBrat! I love nectarine blossoms!

Beautiful pictures! Makes me long for spring.

This is what our yard looks like now. I took this picture about 3 or four weeks ago with my cell phone. But it looks the same today. And it's just as cold.

If you look close you can see the back side of a deer in my yard. But you have to look "really" close to find her.

Look at the tree in the center of the picture, see that brown spot with a little lighter spot just to the left of the tree? Well that's a doe LOL! She's grazing on my grass that's under the leaves.

Brrrr.... looks chilly in your photo. (Nice deer butt!)

Fantastic effort.

As an easterner, it always amazes me that I see your flowers but don’t know them. They are similar, very similar yet different

It would do many here a great benefit to go into the field and see and touch and identify the flowers.

We have several California artists that just live for the color that comes during this time of year. It doesn't happen every year.

Just because you have made this contribution to FR, you are qualified for an overnight artists retreat at the Maynard Dixon home and studio. One of the California artists is shown in this link.

He is also found here.

Ansel Adams made this his base of operation while working on his southwest material.

Thanks! Here's one I took the same day of a fruitless plum blossom. Sorry about the size... :)
