Springtime on Main Street

I've been watching the Weeping Cherry trees at Spring Grove for three days now - and today was the day. This is now the cover shot on Spring Grove's FB page!

I was wandering around shooting the flowering trees and was standing in the middle of a magnolia when the head horticulturist scared me to death. I don't hear at all out of one ear and he approached on that side. I had no idea he was there until he spoke to me! Anyway, we talked for about a half an hour - I was telling him he had the best job in the world. I may get a tour of the greenhouses soon! He was so nice and ended up pruning the Lyman Magnolia while we were chatting. I now have a gorgeous arrangement that he allowed me to bring home. I love this place.
This is so gorgeous!! love how you composed it

Fave, such a beautiful scene cathy. Now if the head gardener had a red jumper on you could have asked him to stand beyond the shadows across the road to give a nice end to this lovely shot (people in red always work in a landscape shot :-) )

@phil_howcroft You can just see two walkers exiting the scene on the top right of the shot. If got them in the middle also but liked this one better.
