Leaf buds in winter sun

Frozen leaf buds are sleeping while they wait for the winter to pass

and the spring to arrive. Best wishes for 2013!

Hi Frode,

You have a nice portfolio.  I think you made a worthy attempt at the leaf buds, but they get lost in all the blurred background and the sun spot.  I think the photo would work really well once the bud starts budding with some ice on it..  Also, a macro would be great like some of you other shots.  Maybe a macro of just one of the buds.  Thanks.

Hi Trey, and thank you for your comment which i appreciate very much!

And happy 2013!
