Colors of spring

Over the last few weeks, we've been seeing a lot of wonderful spring colors in the form of blossoming trees and bushes. Most of these I don't know the names of, except for forsythia. But they sure are pretty to look at.

I did a nice bicycle ride yesterday down the river path to Smith College, where I stopped to take a couple of photos of Paradise Pond and a beautiful flowering bush to later stitch into this little panorama.



And, having just recently discovered a very handy "macro" button on the side of the lens of my camera, I took this closeup shot of the blossoms. -- PL
