Spring Blossoms

Spring has sprung here in Washington - over the last couple of days, we've had amazingly nice weather!! Blue skies, sunshine, and flowers blooming everywhere. . . so I took my camera outside and captured a few shots of our cherry blossom tree:  
Then I took my camera to the front yard and experimented photographing bees in flight:  
 
I hope these are just warm-ups for even more beautiful days to come!
