Flowering Pear
With Spring in full-effect now, I threw on the Nikon BR-2A reverse lens adapter and got a few macro shots of our flowering pear and cherry blossom (sakura) trees. A few more to come!
Happy Spring!

Spring Bee
Spring has sprung in Utah with cherry blossoms blooming and bees collecting nectar and pollen. This particular specimen looks a lot like the Italian breed I keep in my beehives, and she was doing a great job!
Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Easter. He has risen!

Spring Blossoms
The backyard cherry blossoms are in full-swing despite the mountains receiving 24” of snow the last 2 days, and Snowbird receiving a whopping 690” of snow this season (so far). I love this time of year when the bees are busy, and the outdoor hiking, biking, and volleyball starts up again! Matter of fact, I think I’m ready for summer.
