View Full Version : Spring! - warmin up
We had a warmer winter and everybody expected the cherry blossoms season should come earlier this year. well, we are going to have it right now.:)
So went out yesterday to a nearby place for mainly a testing purpose of an adapter recently obtained. ;) A windy day but cherry blossoms were already blooming. (The first two - i hope its in focus)
Only six days ago it looked like this – not the same place but 15min distance by car. (the 3rd one)
Now I think my photo life starts again after long idle days. :) I also need a warming-up.

Hi Yoshi,
Yup, spring is sprung and the future looks good, winter blues are forgotten and looking forward to the summer and autumn, I like the last image it is very pleasant to view would look good as a wall picture but needs tweeking to give it some oomph!
Many thanks for your comments, Tinka. I appreciate it.
How do you like this tweeking? After reading your coments, I was thinking about to crop the foreground but this pic had been already cropped at the top to delete the almost blown sky. so I thought it better not to crop further. I wanted to clone out some but it was apparently beyond my skill. :( I imagine you are goint to have a flower season in May?

Beautiful pictures, lovely blossom and I especially like the third shot with the building.
I'd be very happy to come and warm you up but I don't think I could manage the long haul flight. :D

It's very kind of you, Pol. It just makes me feel happy today. *inlove :D :)

I didn't bother looking before so didn't realise you were in Japan.
Every spring I travel down to Rosemoor, the RHS garden in Devon, where they have the most glorious variety of Cherry Blossom trees. I seem to remember something like 50 different varieties, but I'll check this year. If I get some decent pics I'll post them for you to compare. I wonder if you would appreciate them in the context of an English country garden?:rolleyes:
Jim
I do appreciate your posting of some of the 50 kinds of variations - that's much more than i anticipated - actually i just did not know how many variations exist. looking forward to the pics, Jim.:)
