The photo challenge card for week 152 was perfect for this time of year. Maybe not easy, but definitely doable.
All three of us were able to get photos this week without having to fudge on the parameters.

| Kate: Redbud Blooms |
The cold temps early in the week pretty much killed the blooms on the Bradford Pear trees, but the Redbuds were still blooming. Maybe the freeze didn't affect them as much as many of the trees didn't have full blooms. You can see from my photo there are still lots of buds that haven't bloomed yet.
My Guy took his photo before the late weekend freeze.
My Guy: Pathfinder Plum
He caught these plum blooms at just the right time in the day. It's hard not to love that soft lighting. The hard freeze pretty much killed the plum flowers too, so he timed his photo just right.
Being a working girl has made it harder for My Girl to get photos most weeks. She did make it work this week.

| My Girl: This is Why I Can't Have Real Flowers |
If you could see the very edges of this Lego bouquet, you'd see tiny little bite marks. Queenie, her cat, enjoys flowers. Mostly to eat, not to look at. My Girl learned pretty early on, no fresh flowers in the apartment. So she makes do with the Lego variety.
We all enjoyed this week's challenge card as it was one of the easy ones. Next week's photo card is going to be a challenge.
We actually have a skate park here in town. I'm sure there is one somewhere close to My Girl. The problem is taking photos of people, particularly children, that don't know you. It makes people very uncomfortable. So not sure where we'll each go with this. This challenge make take a few weeks.

I can relate to your daughter! I too have Lego flowers because my seven cats will eat any real flowers! If he wants to bring me flowers, my husband know to make them Lego!
Gorgeous flowers. You picked the right card for this time of year. Your girl's photo gave me a chuckle.
The lego pic was unexpected. I didn't even realize they were lego flowers. The pictures of real flowers were good too.
Beautiful photos, and I love your Girl's flowers. Legos have come a long way!That is too bad about the Bradford pear trees. We had a nice show for about a week before the wind blew all the blooms away.
I love this time of year when everything is starting to bloom and flower! We're seeing them all around town. The Lego flowers are so cool! Where do you find those kits?
