2008-02-29 - Red buds / blossoms Lens: Raynox DCR-150 Flash: Yes, diffused Settings: M mode, ISO 80, 1/60, f8 ------------------------------------------- I think this is some kind of apple blossom, but it's not a tree. More like a small shrub. In 2006 I actually found them blooming on 25 December! Talk about a mild winter! Today there weren't blooming, but I did find an interesting detail: the bush have thorns.
