Hi Ric.  I have to be very selective.  Most blooms are too high. But, my 
larger tree has some almost at eye level.  Unfortunately, most of them 
stay in the shade, so I have to catch one when the light strikes it.

Incidentally, while I was beneath the tree, a Downy Woodpecker flew in 
and was pecking at something, perhaps one of the blooms, but, as soon as 
I moved to see better, he took off.  The tree trunk is usually crawling 
with ants, so that may be what he was after.
