> The last three days have been gorgeous, clear blue skies with temps up to

> others are hurrying out of the ground.

> Yesterday, as I was thinking about ending my hours sitting in the garden
> reading, the low sun illuminated the budding
> Jasmine. The new buds are an amazing, intense red anyway, and the warm
> light just heightened the effect.
>
> With neither time before the light went nor inclination to fuss with
> tripods and such, I grabbed a camera and took a few
> shots.
>
> The camera almost captured the color of new buds, and I decided not to try
> to intensify it, as anyone not there would
> probably not believe it.
> Haven't decided whether I like this composition better.
