    So pretty and delicate. Spring must come early in your part of the world.

  • Rachel Stickney replied

    Alas, unfortunately not. This was taken last year in April. But at least I noticed today my daffodils are starting to poke their heads out of the ground! I believe you get spring earlier in the UK than we do here in Ohio, as our temps dip lower in the winter. (I was born in England and lived there for eight years as a child/teenager – English mum, USAF dad.) Thanks for your lovely comments, Jacqi!

    A beautiful image of this attractive pear blossom flowers Rachel, it won’t be long before this year’s is out, a wonderful Seasonal mood and a pleasure to see,
    Regards, Rod.

  • Rachel Stickney replied

    Yes, it’s so wonderful that we are finally seeing spring, isn’t it Rod? This winter seemed so long to me, perhaps since I’ve gotten more into photography in the the past year and I wanted to be out and shooting, but hate the cold. Well happy days are here again, LOL. Thanks so much for your lovely comments, Rod.
