I think I missed the cutoff, but oh well.  Looking out my kitchen window I finally was inspired and risked a few moments away from the kids to get some shots.

New growth on plants is invisible!  We see the results, but not the growth itself as it is happening.   I liked the lighter green of the new growth on this small persimmon tree.   So I zoomed in for a couple of close shots of the  new leaves budding.   (My wife says the framing on that last one is best.  Unfortunately it turned out a bit blurry.  Need to play more with my macro settings I guess.)

Bonus:  An apple on the sidewalk as I headed back to the house.
