Coming around again: Meadowlark

Good morning everyone!  I joined my photo club at the too-early hour of 7 AM at Meadowlark Gardens.  Each year our club arranges to have the park photographer (Bill Folsum - and check out his website!  http://www.wfolsom.com/) meet us before it opens to let us in and wander.  Typically the timing is good for the cherry blossoms.  Each year I miss out (in part because htis would mean I have to get up before 6 AM on a Sunday, and I'm spoiled and lazy) in order to do this.  This morning the alarm went off and I briefly thought of stabbing the alarm clock but I heaved myself out of bed anyway.  Sigh.

Here is the result.  Interestingly enough I have photos taken from one year ago (April 2, 2010) at a more godly hour - see the link far below.  Last year at this time the blossoms were a little bit better but not hugely so.  Of this set I think my favorite is the one that is second up from the bottom.  The Blues...

Enjoy!





















THE OLD SET FROM 2010 - ONE YEAR AGO ALMOST EXACTLY.

Is that a flowering almond tree or a weeping cherry hanging over that beautiful lake? Your images are exquisite! I love seeing the different time frames and those perfect reflections!
