2012 has proven to be one of the best Spring I can remember. With no late season snow storms, our mud season seems much shorter. I realize that Mother Nature can still surprise us, as in Vermont the weather can change very quickly. However, I am loving the beautiful landscapes that surround us this late April. One of the most beautiful sign of Spring is brought to us trough the flowering of the fruit trees. Below is a picture of my crab apple taken with my Nikon F5 coupled with a Vivitar Serie 1 120-600mm zoom lens set at 200mm.
A mild winter and an early spring have given our tulips a head-start. They thrive in climates with long, cool springs and dry summers. Although perennials, tulip bulbs are often imported to warm-winter areas of the world from cold winter areas, and are planted in the fall to be treated as annuals. I could not resist taking a macro of a beautiful yellow specimen using my Mamiya 645 Medium Format camera mounted on a tripod and a Mamiya 80mm macro lens.
