pale pink

Blossom trees are in abundance everywhere. I always like the magnolias best. This one is in the grounds of the Hospital of St Cross and Almshouse of Noble Poverty, Winchester

It is a beautiful place for photography and I have just become a Friend of St Cross, with free unrestricted access for the next year, something else which I owe to 365 Project.
Such a beautiful shot, Hazel. I love the color and the detail. FAV

@darsphotos

Thank you - hope you are fine. (My Sony has a malfunction (cannot read the card reader) and is in for repair - only 3 months old!)

What a beautiful image as I open up 365 !! A super blossom against a lovely background -- I love the reflectiveness of the leaded windows !

@quietpurplehaze I am fine but my computer totally crashed out so have had my son work on it and seems it may be a total loss. I used his laptop before and he left it here as he does not use it. It is my new computer as of tonight and he bought me a monitor for it (I paid him back for it) and I am using my keyboard. He backed up my desktop computer on Sunday (Easter) and needs to put the backup onto his laptop and then I can use iPhoto. My computer was only 5 1/2 years old. I am so sorry about your Sony. I had a problem with my Sony as well. I put the kit lens on it when taking photos and it would not work and my camera showed an error. I turned my camera off and on and finally took the lens off and put my long lens on and it worked ok. Put the kit lens on and it was ok. I have only had a few minor things happen with it and hope it will be ok as mine is new too. We bought ours the same time. I had a Sony that I used for almost 2 years and the screen started looking all scratched and then the lens was lagging. It was kind of hard to buy another Sony camera but I did. Did you have to send your camera to Sony? I am so sorry, Hazel. By the way, are you on Facebook? There is a group with only Sony A6000 cameras. If you are on there would be a great question to ask the group about your camera. I have learned a lot from that group in a short time. But I do not care for all the extras that some do. I love natural photos and do not do much to change mine. I hope you get your camera back soon and it is ok. Keep in touch: here is my email: solemdarlene@yahoo.com Will hopefully be able to post photos Friday or over the weekend. Take care.

Beautiful flower. We had two magnolias but the 40 degree heat killed them off last year. Must replace them.

Beautiful capture, love the bright pink against the grey stonework

What a gorgeous colour and the detail on the bloom is so subtle. I like how there are spots of pink in the background and reflected in the window.
April 8th, 2015  
Very elegant.

@quietpurplehaze @darsphotos I did also have trouble with my old computer. Our son did have a look on it and explain that all the parts are exchangeable . Sometimes the pats are not to buy in the shops anymore but you can try a second hand market like E-Bay. You also can try to fit an other kind off . That`s what our son did to ours. The motherboard
was gone, he put an other in and now my wife has a computer too. You need a wish kid for it.

this is beautiful hazel, the colours are lovely and the use of the wall and old window as a bokeh background work well

They are a truly lovely blossom and now you have a wonderful setting to photograph them in too. Pretty capture.
