Janet Brien's photos with the keyword: maple flower

I was taking pictures today when I noticed a tree with little flowers on it. I pay close attention to trees in springtime, because many have flowers that aren't obvious, yet they are lovely close up. Walking up to this tree, I exclaimed outloud..."MAPLE TREE FLOWERS!!! WOW!!!" Isn't it funny how many things never occur to us? I never considered what a maple tree's flowers would look like because I always associate their leaves and seeds to this tree. Such a pleasant surprise! They are very tiny and beautiful, and as I was taking pictures, I saw a bee flying from blossom to blossom! This picture was my favorite!
