Is it really spring, or is Mother Nature just messin' with us? Still lots of snow in the mounains near-by, but gorgeous weather here on the valley floor. Taken just today beside my front porch. Almond blossom Viv-Kiron 75-150 closefocus zoom f16 1/1000 ![](http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc136/olroy2044/IMG_0981g_zpse58d0f52.jpg) I'm afraid she's just toying with us ![:-S](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wavey.png)

Roy, That is beautiful but oh so cruel. In the past two weeks we have had three heavy snow storms. We could use a few blossoms here. Welcome back, Mickey! Glad to hear that you are better. Wondered where you were!
Thank you Roy. I see I have a lot to learn about the revisions to the site. Sorry about repeating myself. OK. I found delete.

Same thing here. Unusual tough winter. Plum trees are trying ( may I say so ? ) to bloom for about a month, but sticking the nose out of the door, the temperatures do not remind me on spring at all. However, there is hope, fellows. Here one of the first Mejiros, a typical japanese bird ( Me-Jiro = Eyes-White ), who usually comes as a set with the first blooming plum/almond trees as a spring greeting from Tokyo. Brrrrrrrr ... enough winter ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) Mejiro by bokuwanihongasuki, on Flickr The picture taken just with a simple Casio Exilim EX-ZR200. Not the super quality but the high speed mode ( 30fps ) can come handy if trying to capture those kind of shy and ultra fast bastards ![(:))](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/ninja.png)
