Weeping by pflaume

Weeping

The weeping cherry trees are in bloom. The blossoms are such a welcome, although fleeting, spring sight. This graceful branch dangled in front of wooden fence with slats wide enough to allow the morning light to subtly shine though creating an interesting background blur. I think I like the bokeh as much as the branch itself, but together they really worked for me.
I love the vertical lines in this ;)

Very pretty - I love the weeping fruit and weeping ornamentals. I do like the vertical lines of the fence drawing the eye down to the blossoms. Lovely!

Weeping cherry trees are new to me. It makes an interesting composition when isolated like this. Very pretty.

@rvwalker Thank you, Ross! How are you doing? Are you having any withdrawal symptoms from the end of your project? I know we are missing you here... I sure am!
April 4th, 2013  
magnificent!
April 4th, 2013  
@pflaume Doing OK, Lisa. We are working on Linda's pre-op appointments, but I might get out for a photo tomorrow. The diptych theme looks like fun. I still check in on my 365 favorites, but try to keep it to no more than an hour a day.

@rvwalker That's wise to limit the time investment. It does have a way of expanding, doesn't it. I am always so happy to see you stopping by!
