Tidal Basin Scavenger Hunt!

Another beautiful morning for photography! Several of the photos posted are based on Barbara's Scavenger Hunt Challenge...

 

Before the class, a spectacular sunrise!

 

A beautiful moon just after sunrise.

 

People and cherries - a beautiful dress, reminiscent of cherry blossoms.

No sky.

 

 

Blossoms growing from main tree trunk.

 

Close to high tide.

Cherries in their Glory

Cherry Blossom Feast

Once again a feast for the eyes during cherry blossom time at the Tidal Basin. Just before sunrise the colors of the sky were absolutely magnificent. And the crowd was just as colorful.

 

  

 

 

 

 

Tidal Blossoms

Despite my grumbling about photographing the cherry blossoms once again, I must confess the challenge that Barbara threw out, got me psyched up. I went down yesterday, this morning, and will probably get up early and go again tomorrow.

Here are my first pictures in no particularly order.

Ed Szrom Loves Landscapes

Hello,

I would like to introduce myself as a student in Barbara's Spring Landscape class.  Recently semi-retired, I now have more time to spend on photography. 

I've been involved with photography since grade school and held photographic positions in both high school (yearbook) and college (newspaper).  How the times have changed!

During the past several years, my images have been displayed at the Lost River Artisans Cooperative in Lost River, WV, where they are available for sale.

I'm still working on my website:  http://www.edszrom.com/

I look forward to increasing the quality of my images through this class.

Greetings Fellow Southworthians.  This is a test post.  I regret missing our introductory class photos.
