Some early blossoms emerging. These ornamental plum blossoms are the first fully blooming ones I’ve seen this year.They emerge at different times from year to year, so I hypothesize that they are triggered by temperatures more than hours of light. But it could be some combination. Hopefully they won’t be nipped in the bud by a sudden cold snap.

For Wordless Wednesday and Cee’s Flower of the Day.

The photos were taken with my Sony RX10iv camera, F/4 and ISO 100. I used Raw Therapee, the radiance filter in Topaz Studio 2 and the GIMP to process these photos. My basic workflow.
