Blossoms and Bees

I was out doing errands, with my camera in the car of course, and I pulled over to take pictures of this tree.  It's the first one I've seen in bloom this year.  As I got closer I realized that the whole tree was buzzing with hundreds of bees, also the first I've seen this year.  Perfect for the first day of spring!!
This is the beginning of a very busy week for me with many commitments and also preparing for a trip next week.  I will do my best to keep up with journals but I won't have time for many comments starting now and until I return mid April.  I've decided not to turn my comments off just in case you want to say something to me, but please don't feel the need to comment while I'm too busy to reciprocate.  Thanks for understanding!  :-)

P.S.  This is much brighter and sharper in large.
