Edited snap of a budding flower on a tree. A first edit I did with my then new phone, where I cropped the image to focus on the stem and bud.
Alt text by Bing was too long for the alt box here, so I'll add it here:
"The photograph showcases a close-up view of a branch, likely from a willow tree, during the budding stage in early spring. The focal point of the image is a single, elongated bud prominently positioned in the center. This bud is covered in a delicate layer of fine, silvery-white hairs, creating a soft and fuzzy texture that glimmers subtly under the light. The bud's surface displays gentle hues of light green with a touch of yellow, hinting at the vibrant growth that is to come. The branch itself is dark brown and features an uneven texture, with subtle cracks and ridges that highlight its natural aging. Scattered along the branch are smaller, less developed buds nestled near the nodes, each waiting their turn to bloom. The photograph captures the intricate details of this natural process, emphasizing the renewal and beauty of life in its early stages. The softly blurred background suggests a serene outdoor environment, possibly a garden or a natural woodland setting, bathed in gentle natural light."

and sometimes peeking through the clouds....
Slightly edited.
earlier today on Mastodon, but I wanted to share it here as well!
for the text, and it snuck in some April 1st silliness, so I kept it in. 
Just so you know.
