Blossoms emerging

Pink plum blossoms starting to emerge.

Some early blossoms emerging. These ornamental plum blossoms are the first fully blooming ones I’ve seen this year.They emerge at different times from year to year, so I hypothesize that they are triggered by temperatures more than hours of light. But it could be some combination. Hopefully they won’t be nipped in the bud by a sudden cold snap.

The photos were taken with my Sony RX10iv camera, F/4 and ISO 100. I used Raw Therapee, the radiance filter in Topaz Studio 2 and the GIMP to process these photos. My basic workflow.
