Between me and the neighbor's barn
where a small forsythia grows
is a Russian olive that is just beginning to leaf out.
A soft rain falls for most of the day.
The telephoto feature + high iso = a chunky image
that prompted me to mess about with pixels

Lovely messing--the color of Russian olive is so wonderful, and looks so good with forstythia yellow and barn red.

Oh! Lovely - HOW did you do that?
Posted by: Alice C | April 13, 2011 at 02:43 PM
Thank you Marly and Alice.
i used PhotoShop to create the image...and i agree, Marly. The colors are just yummy and the moist light is perfect today for this type of messing.

Lovely bit of pointillism! Amazing you still have forsythia out...
Posted by: Lucy | April 13, 2011 at 03:07 PM
It just opened, Lucy!
i remember when you posted your first spring images i was dumbfounded...since we had 2+ feet of snow still covering our earth! It always amazes me that the south of England and northern France are so mild compared to us, when you are actually on a slightly more northern latitude than we are. One of those remarkable conundrums.

Ooooooh! Absolutely delightful!! Love what you've done! :)

We still have chunks of snow lying about but we have flowers also...
Posted by: marly youmans | April 14, 2011 at 03:43 PM
Glad to know that flowers have appeared, Marly. The snow will melt. Hopefully several weeks before it's time for it to start up again!
Posted by: zephyr | April 14, 2011 at 03:57 PM
Oh. Thanks. Really. :(
Posted by: marly youmans | April 14, 2011 at 08:46 PM
i'm sorry, Marly! i couldn't resist the joke. Hopefully ALL of next year's snow will go around you next winter and spring!!
