Spring is in the Air

Our winter has been cold, wet and grey. But at long last something is stirring. Sleeping trees now feel the longer days and the warmer sun. Our winter is passing and spring is on the way. Hurrah!!

I drive past this tree nearly every day, and lately I’ve noticed it’s black branches slowly turning white as it’s blossoms start exploding into bloom.

And when I saw Helen’s theme for next Friday - 5 Minutes from Home - I thought of this tree and went out and timed the trip from home. But it is only 2 minutes to drive and definitely longer than 5 minutes to walk.

So I decided to take the photos and post them now!! I’m quite sure this is a Plum tree.

Check out the Workshop to see where the tree is growing on a strip of grass on quite a busy road. I imagine the plum disappear quickly once they ripen as I’m sure many passers-by must help themselves to them.

I hope you are all excited to hear that spring is in the air Down Under.

Hi Janice
All I did was to use the Highlight/Shadow tool in Image < Adjustments in Photoshop CS2. I increased the light in the shadows by 50% - the result is subtle, but I hope you think it's worthwhile
