When you make the turn into my subdivision, this is the first tree you see. The greeter, if you will. In fact, I was going to give this post a title that somehow incorporated a greeting and a tree, but I couldn't come up with a phrase that made sense so I had to settle for the much lamer "Welcome, Spring". Still, the post title does fit; it seemed as soon as we hit the first day of spring, this tree started blooming.
I love that this tree is what greets me when I come home. It's beautiful. It's cheerful. And it makes me happy.
Post-processing: noise reduction, sharpening, border addition.
Happiness - for sure - the photo made me smile. Such light delicate flowers against the solid trunk. Lovely
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! No trees in flower here yet, though it looked like the magnolias I pass on the way to work are finally starting to bud. Of course, it might help if it would stop snowing!
ReplyDeleteYes it's beautiful! I like your depth of field and your composition.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Nothing that pretty here yet - still waiting for some blooms...
ReplyDeletesusanvg -- I love hearing I'm not the only one to smile at photos like this.
ReplyDeleteHeather -- Less snow does help. :) I'm sure your area will start blooming any day now!
Tim D. -- Thanks so much!
Nienke -- I'm sure you'll have them soon, too. It's getting to that time of the year.
