FEELS LIKE SPRING

  WOW! On March 1st, it was sunny and 70° here in East Tennessee today. The lack of any winter what so ever has made the Bradford Pear trees bloom in the last 3 days. I'm afraid that we will get a late winter and it will kill what has started to bloom.

  When I left work, I had to mount the 85mm prime and catch some of the beautiful blooms on the Pear trees before any kind of winter comes and kills them or they fall off. The hang around for only a couple of weeks before they fall off especially when spring rains come and knock them off.

  The Cherry Blossoms are budded and ready to bloom as well. Hopefully, if we don't get some freezing weather, I will catch some shots of it one day work as well.

  1. I've been watching my Bradford's start to bud over the last few weeks but they are nowhere close to this!
