Wolfgang Prigge wrote in his comment to my previous posting that he'd like to see a branch of pink plum blossoms against the blue sky. Fortunately, today we had fine weather, over 10 deg.C, and a very blue sky! We went out in the neighbourhood and found some early plum trees already displaying the little pink blossoms. And we started to "work" on them! This is one such capture that Yoshiyuki managed with his Nikon.

Thanks a lot! This is so beautiful... technically perfect as well with the focus on the open flower and the bachground blurred by the dof. Congratulation!

The blue sky and pink plum blossoms complement each other wonderfully.

P.S.: I hope you and your husband did not do the Japanese cherry blossom routine with step 1 and step 2! Remember, these are plum blossoms...

Absolutely stunning! Are these perhaps even more lovely than the sukura blossoms? Beautiful.
