Dilemna what to enter this week as I`d been dabbling with Topaz Impressions again. Went for the straight one in the end but liked these 2 impressionistic efforts too.

Mine is recent - within the last couple of weeks - but not this week as the sun has not come out and they have remained hiding!

[Hinfrance]

Mine is from two days ago when the sun came out for a while. Blossom on some sort of thorny bush in the garden. For a change I edited this in Darktable - I'd forgotten how very good it is at some things, and all for free.

I like the first one Paul.

I didn't realise that Impressions was part of Studio 2. I've had it for ages, but never really looked at in in any depth at all.

So I put my entry through a quick edit:

No Spring flowers then no insects. 

The Blackthorn is one of the first trees to produce flowers and a sure sign Spring has started.

I wandered around the garden yesterday taking photos of flowers. Need to have a look and see if I have anything decent.
