Trees in Bloom
Posted by john4jack (Corvallis, Oregon, United States) on 2 May 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
Hi Everybody - I'm in the middle of my Columbia Gorge Photo Workshop. We go from 3:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.; so I'm not able to respond to your wonderful comments (which I read on the fly); nor am I able to comment on your outstanding work. Starting Monday, I will begin the process of catching up. (PS - It's a terrific workshop!)

The Coast Series put the next few posts behind a couple of weeks. These blossoms are long gone. The Spring flowers around here come and go very fast.

The practice of peace and reconciliation is one of the most vital and artistic of human actions.

Beautiful capture of the blossoms, Jack. The lighting is perfect, as is so many other details. Did I read right, your workshop starts at 3:30 a.m.? That's insane!

I find I like black out in backgrounds, it eliminates distraction.
There is such a decorative appeal to this, I could see it as a scene on a vase.
Great clarity of the flowers. Well done.
