And then I went on my annual Cherry Blossom rampage, during which I like to think the trees sense me coming and say, "Oh, here she is with that damn camera again."
Petals blowing off the trees, with bees all around:
Soft focus lens filter:
And night photography, not one of my talents:
The slightly less showy Japanese Maple blossom (they're tiny, you sort of have to squint under the leaves to see them)
And this, which I took with a grainy filter and am very pleased with. Might even print him out big and hang him somewhere.
