Flowers and Warm Weather for a Day!!! The high was 83 degrees today. So now, we finally have some flowers.

We also had 40 MPH wind; which caused everything from the tree branches to the tiny blossom petals to wildly wave & quiver. These high winds obviously made photography difficult. However with a Tornado Watch in effect and severe thunderstorms predicted in late afternoon/evening (plus more cold weather & snow also being predicted AGAIN within another 24 hour hours) I had to go out today and shoot "something" while the flowers were still on the tree. Experience from years past has taught me that stormy weather can quickly knock all of the flowers off this tree in the blink of an eye.
