Cherry Blossoms at Easter
Apr 12, 2021 14:41:29 #
We had some of our grandchildren over on Easter, had an Easter Egg hunt in our backyard and I noticed that our cherry tree was in bloom. After getting some "regular" shots, I decided to try for a starburst, one was successful and it's my favorite of the bunch, the last photo. All were taken with my Canon 80D with the EF-S 18-135, my "walking around lens." All of them were taken at close range at 135mm. I took about half with the flash built in to the camera to fill the shadows. These may be the last from our tree, as one large limb is dead and the tree will probably come out before next spring. We planted the tree about 40 years ago.
The photos are best in download.

Beautiful set Dennis. Cherries are my favorite fruit!
Thank you Mark. Unfortunately, this tree has never produced many cherries, but the apricot tree next to it and the other one in our yard are great producers. I'm guessing theren't many cherry trees in our neighborhood. It's a attractive tree though.

Cherry Blossoms are spectacular. I saw them in Northern Japan about 6 years ago. I sat under a tree for about 45 minutes just to capture the moment.
