The hazel tree is in bloom right now. I wanted to capture both the male and female flowers in one picture with as narrow DoF as possible.
The first picture shows the little pink female above the larger males.
The second one just shows to males in a tender moment, while the female hides in the blurry background.
The third one could be sharper, but at least both male and female get some attention.

View from my bathroom window, Day 0 of Spring. This tree sits right in front of our heat pump A/C and heat unit, so we cut it back often and think about removing it, but it grows back, and this year it shared some nice flowers for spring. Fairlington Meadows, Alrington, Virginia, USA 2026

Spring in the Patio before the snow. (Flash needed)

It was 80* yesterday, and this afternoon it's showing (and sticking). This morning I took some quick photos (always iPhone) to document that spring was here.

And I had to wait to deploy my Fediverse posting tool to http://vedfolnir.org. It's now "internationalized" with EN, DE, FR, JP and ES language support. I like my AI alt-text and hashtags.

Stepping into a developing floral cathedral at Kilmacurragh. It won't be long before the pathway is a carpet of petals! 🌺✨
