10 March 2007...This is the 7th bud to open... Unfortunately didn't have uniform lighting throughout the day for this... but it still looks really cool when I do a lighroom slideshow of the shots. The camera has been set on the tripod all day with specific instructions that no one is to move it and the dog has to be kept out of the living room... Not sure how late I'm going to stay up trying to catch the full opening...
