Spring Dreaming

I am really sick of winter, however today I was in my yard and spotted a few blossoms opening up on the tree by the side of the road. I couldn’t help my self but take some photos and dream of spring….. The back ground is just the sky..

I actually have 2 more images that I also like so I might put them up and see how they go :o)

    If spring’s coming for you then summer’s going for us (Grrrr!)

    Lovely colours Basia, the pink goes so well with the green/blue sky and the minimal objects in view just draws your attention to the immense detail in the flower.

    Thank you so much for your feedback Stuart!

    nice shot Basia, that looks like the blossom of a peach tree..

  • Basia McAuley replied

    Thanks Jeremy! I don’t think this is a peach tree, it’s just one of those blossom trees by the side of the road with the red leaves.. don’t really know what they are but they don’t have fruit.

    oh ok cool, yeh my mistake, i see now that the centre of the blossom is different from that of a peach tree.. nice blossom though
