Hi Michael! You have displayed, depicted a most beautiful image for us to enjoy! These trumpet-shaped flowers of the Catalpa tree are so soft and lovely and look so healthy! Your skillful photography brings them to full fruition and beauty for our pleasure indeed! Thank you! Your abilities afford this image quality and refinement for completion!! Nice work Michael! I believe this tree belongs to the Bignonia Family, am I right Michael? Just a guess! Smiling! Sincerely, Marilyn
The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

The "Master" has spoken, once again! What a beautiful, delicate bloom. The Presidential music of Ruffles and Flourishes comes to mind when I look at the blooms from this tree, because that is what the blooms have, especially ruffles. So delicate. And the colors upon the white are not brash but gentle and soft. Going on my desktop, Michael. Ya done it again!

What exquisite flowers-epitomy of beauty! They look like whipped cream with streaks of lovely colors.Love their ruffled edges. The frame is becoming-I like the pink border which picks up the flowers similiar colors. More fine work Michael :*>
Great shot of a lovely flower. As a kid they always reminded me of ice cream sundaes. Nice framing too!
I love these trees .. the best shade trees around in my opinion. People complain about mess (?).. I figure they should get a rake and some exercise!
This photo is exquisite, Michael. The clarity is perfect, neither over sharpened or too soft. And, the color is totally natural. What lens did you shoot this with and did you use a filter?
Simply stunning. I do not know this flower but wish I had some. My desktop is the next best thing. Beautiful clarity and I like the presentation very much - my icons do not disturb the image.
