Has Spring Arrived? by if1

Has Spring Arrived?

349 - It almost looks as if it has, with lovely sunshine today, although it is still a little chilly. A very short walk this afternoon, and lots of buds on trees and bushes to photograph, and a chance to play with my cameras macro. This chap was my favourite bud of the day!

Thank you all for your wonderful comments! I must admit surprise at how clearly this shot came out. My camera only has autofocus, which can sometimes be a little erratic in it's behaviour, especially when taking a macro shot.

Sarah, I did bear in mind your suggestion of a weekly shot, but with the cold weather so little has changed. I've included a shot as it is now in our family project - http://365project.org/fishers/365/2013-03-22 -and it's hard to spot the difference!
