Cherry Blossom (in Tree) by filsie65

Cherry Blossom (in Tree)

The other day someone knocked on the door and offered to chop back my cherry tree... now why on earth would I want them to do that?! So happy to add my shot to the many glorious blossom shots I have seen this week, it seems nature is rapidly catching up.
This was a macro shot (oddly from a way below), I had hoped to get lots of bokeh in the background but instead added a touch of cross-processing for the whim!

Gosh almighty thank you so very much for your lovely comments, and kind views on my 'smile' and all my shots from the weekend. I am so very grateful for the time spent viewing my little offerings. Have a terrific Tuesday! :)
Nice shot, seems like there are quite a few today

Gorgeous capture - such beautiful white blossom!! Love the focus and dof!! So pleased you didn't let the man chop it back!! I tried to find a blossom tree this morning but everything is still in bud!! I can't wait to see the trees in full bloom!!

This is beautiful. It looks like a bridal bouquet. Is spring the time to cut things back, asked the nongardener?

What a beautiful cherry tree, just as well it was not cut back. My small cherry tree is just beginning to blossom but the flowers are pink so hope to post those at some stage. Lovely, lovely shot!

Beautiful shot. I like how you have kept one corner open for the blue sky ;)

SO pretty!! I love the focused blossoms with the blurred ones in the background, I feels like a large, full tree! The tones are lovely.

Like your POV and your decision not to chop away at your cherry tree!

Ooh, this is beautiful. Good thing calmer heads prevailed. What an insult to your beautiful tree! As if it needed anything at all! Cheeky!

Beautiful shot, Phil! I love the focus. It's perfect. The blossoms are such a lovely color. I'm waiting for my trees to blossom here still. Great job on this photo! :)
