O.C. had to go out with Joy yesterday afternoon and he could NOT BELIEVE how things have flowered out. O.C. is going to go out this afternoon (supposed to be 80* again today, but then three more days of rain) seed if he can CAPTURE, the beauty of the flowering shrubs up and down the street, they are a blaze.

AND that is just what O.C. did in the warm sunshine. He photographed a BLAZING Red Azalea, A Dogwood just starting to open and a SMALL Butterfly on a unknown flowering shrub.In fact he wasn't shooting the Bterfly, but the flowers he was on. It must have been REALLY small as O.C. never saw him until he edited his pictures. He also has a BEAUTIFUL Forsythia bush in Full BLOOM

Please enjoy O.C. Spring Time Pictures.
