Last year this tree was growing in our friends' yard. They moved away and since I loved it they let me have it. I anxiously waited for it to blossom this year and was thrilled when it did. Caught this one after a rain. Last year's shot is here.

Fantabulous in your face flora and a grand idea!! I like the idea of the focal point being off-center, but, it seems perhaps a wee too off-center. Some grain exudes, perhaps a wee post work in a photo editor could clean that up?? Snazzy color offerings really workin'!!

A NOTE TO ALL MY FRIENDS: I WILL BE COMMENTING LESS ON PEOPLE IN MY “FRIENDS” LIST SO AS TO MAKE TIME FOR VIEWING ALL “NEW IMAGES” AND ENCOURAGING OTHER PEOPLE OF WHOM I MAY NOT KNOW OR ARE NEW TO THE SITE. I WILL STILL VIEW EVERY IMAGE OF MY FRIENDS AND STILL COMMENT ON SOME IF I CAN GIVE A GOOD CRITIQUE OR MENTION WHAT I LIKE OR FEEL IS REALLY WORKIN’ WELL IN THE IMAGE. AS FAR AS MY IMAGES IF YOU HAVE A COMMENT ON HOW I CAN IMPROVE AN IMAGE I REALLY WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THAT SO AS TO LEARN AND BETTER MYSELF.
