I took this photo as a partner to the autumn version " http://365project.org/judithg/365/2011-11-02" They are a good value tree - always so pretty!
The punts in the foreground are too dark but I'm afraid I'm too lazy to go back for an evening shot and I wanted the sun on the blossom. There is a chauffeur punt station just here and you can be punted and serenaded at the same time. British followers may remember a group called 'The Arrangement' who got to the Britain's Got Talent Final in 2010. They were Sixth Formers from Rachel's school (left just before she started) who did operatic versions of pop songs. Apparently their success caused a bit of consternation amongst the parents who were more keen on them revising for their A'levels but they've gone on to do great things. Their lead singer is currently chauffeur punting from here and has been known to break in to song. I suggested to Rachel that she follow suit but she's worried her guests would decide to swim for home...
That sun on the blossom lights the whole photo up Judith !! Love the way to that those punt cushions glow blue giving more interest on the water !! All looks very serene & if I was not living in England I would want to come pronto !!
I have been telling Jack this afternoon about the young man from Dublin on BGT last night. He wrote his own songs, sang & played the guitar beautifully but all I got was ' but I can't sing Granny '' He should learn because all the rest he can do & earn lots of money !!
What a wonderful picture to accompany the autumn one, amazing how light and season can change the image completely - that sounds obvious but you know what I mean.
Oh this is lovely - I passed this spot yesterday and was aching to take a photo from exactly this angle but alas, no camera. So I'm glad someone else did so I can revisit it from the comfort of my home :)
lovely judith, i remember your autumn shot, in fact revisiting the autumn version i was recommending you got a 'haw frost' ...this is equally as stunning as any 'haw frost' could be :)

Certainly makes a nice pair with the autumn version.
