One of the best parts of early spring is flowering trees.

Flowering trees are one of the first things to make it clear that spring is on its way.

Sometimes it just seems like one minute there are bare trees and next thing you know flowers are popping off the branches of a bunch of trees.

Hawthorns seem to be pretty abundant flowering trees to se in the spring.

The hawthorn blossoms make for great early spring photography subjects.

Not only do they provide a nice bright early spring subject in the flowers, but they also attract early spring pollinators.

Then you can practice flower photography and insect photography all at once.

Thank you for joining me on the blog today for some bright flowers.
