Hamamelis with drip

I was surprised to see this blooming already - it's a couple of months early. The weather is very unusual this year - side from a couple of cold snaps it's been very warm (for Washington State). Our bees have been flying on warmer days and I saw a yellow jacket yesterday.

Lovely colours and detail here Jan. We've had a couple of cold snaps but still have some roses and Osteospermum flowering in the garden.

I bought a Harry Lauder because of your garden but couldn't find a hamamelis. 365 (your photos) seriously affect my garden in good ways, and my wallet in bad ways! :)

[Lisa Stein]

Wonderful focus and DoF! Great light, too.

[Katie]

Gorgeous composition and love the colors against the background too!
