Simply Spring : )

Over the past few days the forsythia branches that I cut & brought in have started to explode!!
So today, (one week from cutting them), I set up the camera, took a ton of shots, tried different angles, nothing seemed to be working...I was having trouble with the background...ugh!
Maybe because I was trying to: cook dinner-do laundry & take photos all at the same time (I'm not real great at multi-tasking, lol)
Soooo after way to many shots of the same bud, I finally chose to keep it simple by using a white sheet of paper as the background.
Dinner was a bit overdone...laundry...well, tomorrows another day!!

There is no surer sign of spring's arrival than the blooming forsythia but I don't think it is fair to fool Mother Nature! Nice picture.

Hey Letmec, Thanks : )

Hi John, lol the laundry did wait! Thanks! : )

Aw thanks Wendy, I did try to keep it all hush-hush, lol but with the large family I have that's almost impossible to do :)

Hi Bob, Thanks! Oh no not fooling mother nature, just helping her a bit ; )
