Captain Sunshine - It really is nicer viewed large

Again, no new shots today, just filler from an earlier shoot. The heat and humidity is just wiping me out, and I was trying to get all this work done before the heat set in. It's way too early for 90 degrees with 83 percent humidity and thunderstorms with tornado watches in April! Ugh! It's about a quarter 'til 7 PM. I've got my ice cold adult beverage and relaxing with my 365 friends now. The song fits the pic, an old favorite. =) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeM94e2b9KM
Hey Mags - Feels good just looking at these.... We had five inches of snow in the last day-and-a-half followed by 75 degrees today.
April 4th, 2012  
@ronphotos365 Thank you, Ron! My gosh! Send the snow this way - PLEASE! Nothing like going from winter right into the middle of summer. Worse for you guys cause it keep flip flopping! Not good for the sinuses, at all!
April 4th, 2012  
Just to stay out of trouble I won't mention the weather we have had here! ;) I love the little sunflare! Beautiful, Maggie!

@marlboromaam Mags, you're not allowed to request snow right now..... we just planted our summer crop..... snow would really put a damper on our green vibe....

Now, as far as your shot is concerned.... beautiful!!!! We have the exact same trees in our yard. We love the late bloom (read: after the leaves) of this variety!!!!

Not a captain morgan fan, but I'm good with a cold beverage! :-)
April 5th, 2012

Another nice shot Maggie. Guess that pretty tree hides the weather where you are. I agree with everyone else, that the sun flare is really cool. Very nice.
April 5th, 2012  
So you're have 90 degree days, too! My sympathies, we're in the same boat. Way too early for this intense heat. Great shot, Maggie, of the sun peeking through those beautiful blossoms.
April 5th, 2012  
Loving that sun flare! Stunning shot!

These pink flowers and the sun flare are so beautiful, Maggie. I miss the flowers on the trees, they came and went so fast. Nice to see them once again, brightens up my day. Stay nice and cool. It was 36 this morning and up to 60 this afternoon and sunny.
April 5th, 2012

As a southern gal from New Orleans, I am feeling your pain. We had snow here about an hour ago and we are now sunny and mid 40's. Your flowers are pretty, and dang I wish I could get a good sunburst like that. Stay cool and crank up the a/c maam.
April 5th, 2012  
Such a cool photo! A great sunflare giving those cherry blossoms a warm pink tone. Nicely done Maggie!
