Stop and smell the pine blossoms for Earth Day

I have always been partial to photographing trees that produce pink petals in the spring, but the pine trees at Cape Henlopen State Park wheedled me to stop walking several times to snap some shots yesterday. The baby pine cones look like blossoms from a distance! I’m glad our planet (particularly the part where I live) can support such stunning sights. Happy Earth Day!

Aquariann enjoys watching petals grow much more than paint dry. That's why she's a flower photographer and illustrator instead of a painter. She welcomes all artists to join her weekly Flower Friday hop to share their pretty pictures on her other blog, the art and tree chatter of aquariann.
