Cherry Tree

There is a flowering cherry tree on Bartholow Road in Eldersburg that is spectacular this year. When it was at it's peak we had a few cloudy days and finally a partly cloudy day. I grabbed my camera and captured some images. The flowers looked great against the blue sky. Remember there is almost always a nice blue sky after bad weather. So be ready for Tuesday after a front goes through on Monday.

April Showers

They say April showers bring May flowers. Well, the rain came over the weekend. I shot these images before the storms on Sunday. The flowers are starting to bloom and looking good. The heavy snow did not seem to effect them. The dogwood trees are another matter. Our dogwoods only have blossoms on top of the tree and not many. It also seems like they bloomed early this year. Maybe it's just me. I notice other dogwoods like ours as I drove around Eldersburg. I also see many in full bloom. Spring is a great time to take pictures. There are colors, patterns, insects and rain. The water droplets on plants make for great pictures.
