Pretty lighting, Ziggy. Everywhere I look this week, especially after all of the rain we've had, the world is definitey "greening up". You can practically stand still and watch the stuff grow!!!

Your lovely green buds look like a string of Christmas Lights.

Thanks Saurora,

It was in daylight, and this is a bush so lots of background distraction. I wanted enough DOF to show the relationship between the two dominant branches, but I needed to limit the light to the diffused flash source.

This digicam is so great at syncing flash at high shutter speeds.

Thanks Skippy!

I did think it was a nice contrast of the green buds against the brown twigs. These things are so tiny now that I had to use a genuine 1:1 macro to get any size in the image at all.
