A Small Dose of Spring, Missouri Style

So, we made a quick overnight trip down to the inlaws' place at Pomme de Terre Lake in Southeast Central Missouri Friday night/Saturday, so I thought I'd use up some digits and play with my camera. Here's some stuff to whet your appetites for Spring. I'm really a better photographer than these pics would seem to indicate, but I have a relatively cheap and limiting camera. Enjoy, despite my inadequacies.

Pic 1 - Bee on an apple blossom.
Pic 2 - Flowering Almond

Missouri soil is about as nasty as it comes - half clay and half rock shrapnel (edges sharp as razors).

And yet, beautiful stuff grows there as you can see from Els' pictures.

There's probably a moral in there somewhere.
