Tiny blooms just beginning to emerge from the forest floor.

If April showers bring May flowers, I’m not sure what April flowers bring?

Another semi-macro shot, using a 36mm extension tube. Tree buds, just about to burst forth.

Every time I pass this barn, especially in spring when it contrasts with the green of the grass, I want to take a picture of it. I finally did!

Actually, it’s Lake Ontario, not the sea. Unless you want to count that as an inland, freshwater sea.

Semi-macro closeup of tree bud, shot using 20mm extension tube (or was it 36? Ack!) The tiny droplet of resin was interesting, I wish I’d had better light available.

That bud is about the length of your thumbnail, by the way.
