Pesky flowers

It's that time of year for our Pongam to drop a gazillion tiny flowers. You can barely see them on the tree. We will have to sweep the walk and driveway twice a day to clear them out.

I got some new Lightroom Presets today and had so much fun working on this!

Happy May!

They are tiny (pretty much actual size here in the photo). They will drop by the thousands, as our tree is huge. I often overlook a "dirty" tree when flowers are involved, but you can't see these on the tree. Better to be planted in a large grass area. The photo was taken on the roof of my car and I really liked how the reflections turned out, too. Thank you all for your kindness!

It's beautiful Danette. Does it cause a lot of work for you though?

Which presents did you get? Free ones?

It's a lot of extra work because you have to put them in the trash (there are so many). Once you are finished sweeping, you could sweep all over again! Often, they are brought into the house with the shoes.

The presets cost me $16 at http://craftandvision.com/books/lr-preset-bundle/ using the discount code Preset2.

I think that's a good price and they seem to be pretty cool.

I like the reflections too. Nice composition. Sounds they are a bit of a pain, but they are oh so pretty!
