Pollen anyone?

I just love these little plum blossoms.  I have to make sure to appreciate them each Spring because they only last but a day or two!  I have always wanted to photograph them but they are kind of difficult to shoot using the macro setting on my camera.  For one thing, there are so many of them together that most photos turn out with a small part of the shot in focus and the rest is left in some state of blur.   The other thing that makes them not so easy to get a shot of is just the fact that they are so short lived and since it is Spring, after all...relentless winds prevail.  I grabbed my tripod and went out there this morning before the winds took over for the day, for tomorrow these little blossoms will likely be gone...

These days my car and everything else is covered in pollen.  I sure am glad I am not one who has a lot of allergies!
