This is a bud that I picked out of a crowd of buds after a rain one afternoon. I took many shots of them, in groups, alone, with different lenses, but this particular one appealed to me more than the others. I see it as a sure sign of Spring here in Houston. It's not as sharp as I would like, and I have been working on that. I think maybe that's due to the lens and settings I used here. Nikon D40, 70-300mm AF-S VR, ISO 200, f/5.6 at 300mm. I used a tripod and wireless remote as well so either I just am not focusing correctly or the lens is my limiting factor. If this post would be better suited to the beginner section, please feel free.
