Cherry Blossoms Delight

We waited a long time for cherry blossoms this year, only being a day shy of setting a record for lateness.  But it was worth the wait because the blossoms are gorgeous this year.  I especially enjoy photographing cherry blossoms because they offer opportunities for so many kinds of photography.  White blooms covering a hillside make for a lovely landscape.  Delicate cherry blossoms invite close-up photography.  Interesting patterns often emerge from the symmetry of the orchards.  In this particular set of images, I was as engrossed with the bark patterns in the trees as I was with the blossoms themselves.  And nothing ends a day of shooting better than a delicately colored sky at sunset.  This photo-shoot had it all.

    Thank you, Jan. I fear the blossoms have met with an early demise from the heavy rainstorm we had earlier this week. So this might be my only chance at photographing them. Karen
