Every single year I find a new type of plant or shrub or tree that I've never ever seen before. You would think after all these years I would have noticed everything, but there's always something new. This one is called a tiawan cherry tree.
Isn't it pretty?
By the way, even though I've been on facebook for years, I've never really embraced it. I've decided to give it a try. It'll be more fun if I'm friends with some of my blog buddies! Click right here to go to my profile if you want to be friends!
Okay, now what did you find to capture this week? I can't wait to see! Here are the rules.
- submit the url of your blog post, not your home page
- link up a photo that was taken by you
- include a link back to my blog in your post (you can use the button or a text link if you prefer)
- visit a few other blogs and leave some comment love
Okay, now let's see what you've been shooting!
So jealous that you have blooms already! Beautiful shots as always, the colors are so pretty. Happy Thursday.

Those are gorgeous! I don't think I've heard of a Taiwan cherry tree before, will have to see if they grow in my area as well.
ReplyDeletehi Deb... WOW, seriously that Pink flower is shocking! (That was a compliment btw - shocking pink colour) I LOVE the crisp focus and DOF...makes me feel all spring-like. No such weather luck here in England right now -- cold snap here to stay for few weeks longer. I can't wait to get back out there with my camera. Thx for hosting linky once again.

ReplyDeleteThat is such a pretty wee flower, and your shots are great. Not much colour here yet I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit annoyed I forgot it was thursday and I've no new pictures to put up for this or that thursday :((
Deb - that flower is gorgeous! I'm so jealous of you -- seeing beautiful blooms already. It's cold and dreary here in Ohio.
ReplyDeleteJust looked you up on Facebook, too! Thanks for all of your PL encouragement lately. I appreciate it! ~Sally
Oh. lovely, lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteMy blog has a widget...

These are beautiful deb! We currently have evergreens, and ... STICKS! sigh ... soon, right?
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty Deb! I am glad you found it : )
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous, Deb!! I already had a major case of spring fever and now I am just plain burning up, haha.
ReplyDeleteStunning! I love the depth of field on this photos!
ReplyDeleteThat first photo is just gorgeous--I love that shade of pink!
ReplyDeletethese are beautiful flowers and beautiful shots :)
ReplyDeleteLovely bloom.. love the close up macro shots.
ReplyDeleteLove your shots Deb!! So beautiful and delicate. It must be so nice to discover some flowers after all the cold weather. I feel so blessed to live in a climate where we have flowers blooming all year round.
ReplyDeleteI have sent you a friend request on Facebook (Liz DenehySB). I am a seasoned Facebooker as I have family & friends interstate and overseas in US & UK. I also have a photography page (EA Photography) which has been great for connecting with other photographers and learning.
lovely macro and very pretty indeed! i've never heard of the tiawan cherry tree but do have some simple flowers similar around where i live...though the shot is just superb!
ReplyDeletealso, i'd really appreciate if you could contribute for Saturday Sareenity.
cheers!
I'm back again today to add photos of my Chinese New Year play date. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm the 62nd comment??! WOW! :-) Deb, these are STUNNING. The flowers are so clean and crisp against the blurry background. You must have found the perfect aperture to get that amazing balance. LOVE!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous flowers!!
ReplyDeleteI'm back again! I know I'm starting to become stalker-like, but I just had some really fun photos from our children's pirate parade and I had to link up and share them. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! So refreshing to see this. We are buried in snow here with more to come. I always love to see the fresh life blooming. This gives me something to look forward to!
ReplyDeletethese are amazing! so sharply focused, beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteWhat delicate beauty. Ah....longing for spring but enjoying what is at the same time.
ReplyDeletelove that shade of pink!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the best thing about photography, is that your always finding something new to take pictures of. Just when we think things are old something new and fresh presents itself!
ReplyDeleteThe blossoms are beautiful! Delicate bright pink, love your third photo Deb. I had never heard of Tiawan Cherry either. Does it produce edible fruit?
ReplyDeleteJust linked to your site from another! What a delight! I love your flower photos! Looked through many others and enjoyed them as well!
