Mexican Plum Blossoms...Welcome Springtime!
For this week's MACRO MONDAY post I am sharing my most recent shots. On Friday morning, I put my macro lens through the paces as the Mexican Plum (Prunus mexicana) tree near my office was in full & glorious bloom. These blossoms were so inviting and the vernal equinox was so close, I just HAD to take advantage of the opportunity Mother Nature provided. I especially like how the anthers of these blossoms reach out from the center of the blossom in a gangly way.

Spring is starting to show itself in the more moderate climes, it isn't waiting for the equanox.
Thanks for visiting my two blogs.
That is interesting to see how the anthers reach out. It's nice to see spring on your blog, since it won't be in my part of the country for a few weeks yet.
These are really wonderful shots, fellow middle school teacher! Really intimate and rich. The sun is a powerful source of light!
I love where you have the focus.
