Right outside my office window is this amazing Cherry Blossom tree--you can see its buds are about to burst forth (when they do, oh, so, pretty). This house finch and his partner have been courting here recently. So I took his photo today (through a screen on my window, unfortunately--forgive the blurry effect). Oh, and this time, I set everything up right. My photo yesterday was in the end a "happy accident" with the blue hue--I had hit a button on the white balance that created the cool effect (unknowingly). Truth in learning--yep, that's what I'm all about.
@markp Thanks Mark! Oh the blooms will come soon--this tree will pop! Then when it is in full bloom, the wind will shake the petals off in full petal storms (like a snow storm). I sure do hope to catch it at least once! It's odd, another tree has already gone into bloom, but it may be a different variety because it's blooms are more pink than mine. The weather is still very cold, though. :(
@danitech Thanks Danielle--he really is cute! I have to get the screen off my window so I can take better shots of the two of them together (which was all day today!).
@jo13 He really does go with the tree, hunh? The pair are so cute. I'm right at the perfect angle too--screen goes off tomorrow, and I'll clean the window! I have a cherry tree to photograph from this window too! :)
@rennes Oh, Lisa, thanks so very much for the fav! I'm heading to Florida Monday, so I'm really hoping that I'll get some warm weather there (and some smashing shots!) :)
@jewelsandbinoculars This color was intentional--the day before--totally accidental. I'm a bi-polar accidental/intentional photographer. :) The blur will be gone with the removal of that screen now!
