Finally

Finally! I went out and took a few photos. I didn't go far or for long, but I went.

Every time we (as in Sue driving) drove past this nearby property, I wanted to take a photo of the blossoms hanging over the fence. I think it's a picturesque little setting.

A little later, we stopped by the park. I wanted some photos looking (mostly) across the river where I could see the emerging green of the trees leafing out. I like the lightness and brightness of these early leaves and how you can still see the contrasting verticals of the bones (trunks) in the image.

It was a cloudy day. To get the effect that I wanted, or at least something approaching it, I added glow in post. I pretty well accomplished what I wanted to. It may not be to everyone's taste, but it is to mine right now although I may not approve when I look at these photos next year.

On Flickr, there is a Bench Monday meme, so I purposefully include benches in my photos when I think of it.
I do like how this one is framed by the trees which also frames a view across the river.

There are benches here too, but I am not fussy about this image.

Looking completely across the river, I like the verticals and there's also a bench (picnic table).

The curve of that trees plus the balancing of the birch tree to the right
make this my favourite photo of the outing to the park.
