    I'm with Guy, nothing better than green and blue together! And I love the way the bare trees are etched against the rich color! Really gorgeous shot, Carver! Have a great weekend!

    A day to be envied - especially the shadows of the tree.

    The spring green shoots of color juxtaposed against a clear blue sky is my favorite, too! I started to post a photo of my pecan trees, just leafing out, but I posted a similar shot earlier in the week. Now I wish I had posted it! :-D

    I like the delay in 'leafing over' it shows a lacy quality to the fore ground trees.
    Lovely picture you have shown us.

    Oh my goodness, it was a great day in the neighborhood. The green is so inviting. I particularly enjoyed the shadows sprawled like that on the ground. Fantastic shot.

    Familiar scene -- all over town. Nice to see the trees greening up even though it's been wreaking havoc on my sinuses for the last few Weeks. At least we're almost done with Yellow Haze Season.

    Hmmm... do I like the sky, or the tree, or the green, or the shadow best? I can't decide. It all works together to make something terrific.
