Beautiful! I've never noticed those flowers on a maple. I'll have to look closer. I do have a maple with long, threadlike flowers; must be a different kind.
isn't the start of spring and the opening of the new buds the most joyous thing to behold! and awaited with much anticipation! Have a wonderful week and thank you for stopping by my blog today.
These photos just are making me smile. Pic like this of new growth in alls its stages is just so much more interesting--to me--that full-blown blooms. Love the story your photos tell, Karen.
