Hopefully, I can get out this year for other shots of the Bradford Pear with my Canon gear. However, our weather (like most of the country) has done a flip flop. We went from 85 degrees to just 28 within hours. Strong winds have accompanied the change in weather. Just as soon as the Bradford Pear blossoms open, they are being blown off the tree. Meanwhile, the branches are also flopping wildly in the strong wings. Today is our 4th straight day of high winds. I have to give the Bridge Camera credit for being able to capture this at "2000mm" full out zoom and high shutter speed.
