Shirley, this is a lovely composition. Life seems to be almost literally exploding here. The contrasting focus is really effective too. Just an all-around great shot.

Young leaves were always much prettier scene than the snow on the branches IMO, isn't it? Nice warm afternoon colors.

Beautiful idea. It's like something is coming to you from the background. With a bit of imagination (and sorry for this) this may well be the herd of running antelopes (the legs of). Viorel

Very nice indeed, I like how the bits hanging down gradually fall out of focus to the background. Love the light too.

We all knew that spring would eventually make it to your neck of the woods, Shirley. 'Tis a breath of fresh air, eh?
