Almost there..

It's much colder & windier than yesterday, with a smattering of sleet this morning. I did an early afternoon prowl around the garden, planning to capture several different buds to make a collage. As everything was bouncing around I tried using the 35mm lens on manual, with focus peaking (which I hadn't used in the field before), to capture shots between gusts. Some were timed OK, some deleted.There were several usable shots, but this back-lit Amelanchier branch with buds almost ready to open won hands down for today's Blip, to my way of thinking!.
