Default Assignment:Spring

We are in Autumn here, but still could find signs of new growth on my Geisha Girl. Thought I could try something else instead. It's the best I could do without a macro lens.
Spring is here

Leisa,
Not only is that a pretty shot, it is so interesting to me. I never realized that those little things opened to expose the pollen. Amazing!

Fantastic color, detail, and capture! (have you considered taking out that white in the lower left corner in post processing?)

This assignment is already proving to be full of great pics!
