Spring Birds and Blooms

It was the first of week of April when we began seeing this year’s first Spring peeks of tree buds and blooms.

Today it’s as if Mother Nature snapped her fingers *click* and the trees are all leafed up!

During the last three weeks, I tried to capture some nice compositions of birds surrounded by the tree buds or blooms in my backyard.

Here’s the photos I liked the most.  They are in date order to see the changes of the trees as well.

Now the challenges of all those leaves that are getting bigger and bigger by the day, hiding the birds!  😉
