Day 14: Flower power!

It's spring and flowers are blooming everywhere. The cherry trees are at peak blossom, turning many of Vancouver's streets into pink corridors. On the UBC campus, there are a number of magnolia trees at various stages of flowering, and the oregon grape is covered with tiny yellow buds and flowers. I found a good crop near the Student Union Building and spent a few minutes with my afternoon coffee photographing several clusters of cheerful, pea-sized, bright yellow flowers. Much as I like our SLR, the macro capabilities of our old camera are still superb, perfect for close ups like this one.
