Crocus
The first flowers to come up in my yard were snowdrops. I forgot to look for them until Tracy reminded me they were flowering in her area. Then a week or two later the crocuses came up:
A closeup (around 3x) look at the flower center, through the petals, at a pretty wide aperture.
Nature Diary 
First, thank you so very much for the mention – much appreciated [blushing].
Second – WOW. (Why do ALL my comments on your photos seem to start off with that?) Really stunning. So ethereal!
No crocus for me (yet) but keeping a keen eye out! 🙂
Now this is really shallow DOF 🙂 Excellent capture. Spring finally arrived and nature is slowly gaining colours again.
excuse me while I catch my breath…I have no adjectives…
