Fresh buds

On my walk into town this morning I found a tree with lots of lovely green buds covered in snow. The light wasn't too good and my camera couldn't cope with the close-up and snow so I have lots of fuzzy shots. This is one of the better ones. Having walked into town I rewarded myself with a cup of tea and a little potter about. I went back to the tree on my way home to get better shots, but it just didn't work.

I like the new buds symbolising change and new life.

Right, time for lunch and then some marking.

Hopefully I'll be able to get a more colourful photo tomorrow. Any tips on taking close-ups with a coolpix?
