Early spring + macro mode for the win

[flexagon]

ZOMG, look at this incredibly awesome bit of spring I found in my hedge. It's like the paw of a jeweled beast, or a fairy queen's scepter... and it's one of hundreds in my front yard alone.



I was on my way out for coffee when I noticed this. When I came back, I got the camera out. When I'd finally gotten some shots and narrowed the selection down to this one, I went back out with a ruler; it turns out you can see maybe 2 centimeters worth of twig here, probably a little less.

Such audacious greens and purples for a dull, boring hedge that still looks dry and brown!

I love early spring days like this.

Look closer.

That is beautiful, thanks for pointing it out. I've just started noticing the buds on the trees too, and there's that smell in the air.
