“Each flower is a soul opening out to nature.”- Gerard de Nerval



I have been taking the time to literally smell the flowers, and relish the little moments. Spring is not only a renewal of life but more so of hope and faith- faith that the cherry trees will bring blossoms with the first warm rays of sun, that the grass will once again sport its green coat and that the sky will be azure blue and full of promise.
These are just some ‘snaps’ from my backyard, some flowering trees that proved to be the perfect subjects for a little play with depth of field. Other than being resized for web, these photos are unretouched, just 100% natural colors.


Love these. I was just in Utah and was dying over the beautiful blossoms. Soooo beautiful, now that is me visiting from AZ.
Good for you! Beautiful pictures! Would look lovely as fine art prints!
