Mary MacADNski: Half of PEI is still without electricity after an ice storm. We just got ours a half hour ago. We really want springlike weather for a few days to help the electrical workers!

Oh this is such a treat to open your blog and find these beautiful pink apple blossoms. Wow, Mary!
Mary MacADNski: It brightened my day. I upload a week at a time and have no idea what the day will bring when a specific photo comes up. Half of PEI is still without electricity after an ice storm. We just got ours a half hour ago. The flowers came on the right day.

I bet winter seems to last FOREVER where you are on PEI, Mary. So I can "give" you these apple blossoms, gladly. But for me, I still need another month of winter! I want to make sure all the bad "bugs" are dead and buried before spring comes, if that makes sense!
Mary MacADNski: Spring is a long way off yet. This photo was taken the 28th of May There's lots of winter yet. Half of PEI is still without electricity after an ice storm. We just got ours a half hour ago. We really want springlike weather for a few days to help the electrical workers!

The bad bugs make perfect sense to me. We had very mils winters the last couple of years and as a result insects did survive the winter.
I like the contrast of these beautyful colours on the clear blue sky Mary. Vivement le printemps!

That is a seriously dense selection of apple blossoms, Mary. Pity the tree if the sex-workers were very successful.
Mary MacADNski: These trees were laden as the sex-workers were well paid and did their jobs happily and spread about abundantly.

I love apple and cheery blossom. Pity they don't last too long. Is your computer better?
Mary MacADNski: It is better but half of PEI is still without electricity after an ice storm. We just got ours a half hour ago. Come on spring!

This is an excellent reminder of spring
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Pops. The flowers are very rich and a great reminder.
I am IMPATIENTLY waiting for spring. I am going to Victoria in March so that I can catch an early shot of it. Then back to winter.

Love this shot Mary! I can't wait til Spring either!
Mary MacADNski: A couple more months to wait yet on the east coast I'm afraid.
I love the spring blossom and believe it or not one or two ornamental cherries around here are already in bloom! We have a late flowering cherry and for about a week it is glorious. Lovely shot Mary. Roll on spring!

TT D'Arby not a favourite of mine but I quite like this track.
Mary MacADNski: I can't believe you have blossoms already. This shot was taken May 28, a couple of years ago.

I have a whole file of just this song, one of my favorites. I like this version a lot.

Soon, soon and then you'll be able to take some new pictures.This is absolutely glorious, I caught my breath as the picture opened, it's splendid.
Mary MacADNski: Thank, Ellie. The thumbnail doesn't do justice.

We won't see spring for some time yet.

Beautiful capture of these gorgeous blossoms Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Aussie. To put you in the pink...
But... already has arrived the spring? Nice color explosion!
Mary MacADNski: No, Jose-Angel. We won't have spring for many months. I still can't use my camera so am depending on files from the past.

No, Jose-A'ngel. No tendremos resorte por muchos meses. Todavía no puedo utilizar mi cámara fotográfica así que la dependiendo de archivos a partir del pasado.
Just beautiful! The flowers seem so alive. The flowers in shadow in the background helps make the foreground flowers seem even more lively
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Lucy. They were the MOST beautiful trees!
