Tree Bud

A young spring leaf bud emerging from the end of a small tree branch.The unopened leaves are light a range and the branch is grayish brown. The branch and buds are covered in white fuzz. The background is blurred gray bokeh.

I wrote a couple weeks ago about getting a new camera. Since then I've had lots of fun with it. I'm mostly interested in various forms of nature photography: landscape, wildlife, macro so I'll be much happier once spring arrives. Thats not to say that there aren't things to photograph in the winter, just that it is much more of a challenge. I've gotten a few good bird shots (we have a feeder just outside our office window) and I've just purchased a macro lens so I'm ready for the flowers and insects! Spent a few hours today trying it out, here's one of a tree bud. I've never actually had a dedicated macro lens even though that's probably my main interest.

I don't have comments but I love email or you can find me on Mastodon.
