Cherries and Bluebells

Here is link to chilly cherries, including link to Whitman's response to the death of Lincoln (150 years ago.)

We finally had nice conditions, fair temps, wet bark, lush drops, and low wind, for starters anyway. As for bluebells, so easy on the eye, so not-easy to picture, I struggled with composition, and, by the time they became too irresistible to ignore, wind and bright light. Despite frustration missing still points due to inconsistent exposures (exposing up and down chasing the right one) they're too ephemeral not to enjoy.




I thought we were finished, then Jina spied the trunk and started again, and I found a lined trunk to love too.


These give no sense of where we actually were, unlike your big pictures with more a sense of place.

Barbara, your bluebells are so lovely & crispy sharp. I love then as well as your tree lines. I never thought of looking for such patterns in the bark. Thanks. jill

I like the 2nd bluebells photo with the light coming through, making the petals look even more delicate. And I love the tree trunk with moss!
