Out in my yard one evening, I looked up and spotted the moon through the branches of the weeping birch tree in my back yard. There is something very appealing and artistic about the shape of those seed pods, dripping down from the branches. I have noticed my birch tree several times during the last few days, and I am loving the changing views with the changing light.
Do you see what I mean about their shape? The field of vertical rods contrasts the branches of the cherry tree behind them.

I too love watching the changes of Spring 🙂
This time of year there is a new discovery to be made every day, if you look for it, huh?
lovely photos, Crystal
Thank you Bruce!
After looking at these beautiful photos, I feel like taking up photography myself!
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your lovely compliment. I have no training at all, just a nice camera and a desire to snap photos. I started with a borrowed camera. So follow your inspiration: find someone to loan you a camera, take a walk, and it’s a piece of cake from there!
I just love that second one (and of course the moon peeking through in the first).
The second is my favourite too. Morning and evening light is magical. There is a big old apple branch in the wrong place to get the moon shot the way I saw it with my eyes. But I managed to get the one above to give the sense of what I had seen. Eyes do a much better job, ha ha!
