    Aristocrat pear today. I like to go out and take pictures of things that are changing.

    Here’s another Aristocrat pear picture. One of the reasons I like to take pictures of tree things is because I can use the blurry sky portion of the image (cropped out for blog presentation) to determine whether or not my sensor needs to be cleaned. Probably should clean it before I go to Japan anyway.

    My infamous Bradford pear sends out leaves before it sends out the blossoms. Then when the blossoms come, it stinks. I just might miss it this year though since I’ll be in Japan for most of the blossom season! Yay! (I’ll probably come home and Mike will have cut all the pear trees down. Mark my words.)

    My dogwood today. I LOVE my dogwood tree! I’ll probably miss most of her blossom season as well. Hopefully, I’ll see some nice blossoms to photograph in Japan. Or a colorful fish market perhaps. Not quite sure what to expect, but whatever it is, it’s not going to be my dogwood.

    Even if the weather doesn’t agree, the trees are telling us it’s spring! Our little plum tree sprouted a couple blossoms on Monday, and there was much rejoicing!
