Lynn and I returned from visiting MK, Mike, Sara, and Cal last Sunday. It was easy to spot exuberant signs of Spring on our route. Today I thought I’d share some photos of pretty blossoms we saw along the way.
Up in Wisconsin, apple trees are blooming:

Pollinating I think this is a variety of pear tree. They’re busy blooming too:

And Black-Eyed Susans in Georgia didn’t want to be left out:

Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog. Stay positive, be kind, take care of yourselves and each other. Enjoy Spring, and if you can, make some photos!

All are beautiful but the apple blossom images do not look like iPhone images to me. right?
Hi Dorothy – thank you! iPhone answer coming soon.
Looks like your trip was a blooming success!
That’s a wonderful collection of flower photos, Ed. You are right about the modern cameras. Just picked up a new model a few weeks ago (the five-year old model expired) and have been amazed at some of the pictures.
All is good on the Gulf side except finding enough time to be outdoors!
Take good care.
Thank you Wally. We really enjoyed seeing the family for the first time since Christmas.
Enjoy your time outside – you never know when life might interfere!
I’m going to guess that the two apple blossom photos were taken with your camera. Isn’t it wonderful to travel at this time of year and see the flowers blooming all along the way? I always loved to see the peach trees in Georgia. Enjoy your week!
Hi Diane!
It is a wonderful time of year to travel. I hope you enjoy your week too.
Thanks for your guess about the photos. I’m going to wait until my next post to provide answers.

Thanks for visiting my blog! I wish I could figure out how to reply right there, but just can’t figure it out. Anyway, I always enjoy viewing your photos and all the information you share on how to imitate your work. Vicki
You’re welcome Vicki – I enjoy stopping by your blog. But I’m not sure how the comment system works from your side. Wish I could help.
And thanks for your kind words on my photos!
Last week I asked if you could spot which photos weren’t made with phones.
The answer: the header image and the image of the poppies were made with a Sony A7R V. All the others were made with phone cameras.
Thanks for your guesses. Phones work pretty well a lot of the time!
