Jen received a bouquet of tulips from my mother, and that's all I'm saying about that subject. I used the tripod my Aunt Mary bought me for Christmas, and it worked very well. Coloring and minimal cropping done in Lightroom and Photoshop.

I should probably get a frequent-visitor pass for Longwood Gardens. The trees have their spring blossoms, and the light was fantastic Saturday. The sky was a clear blue, with but a few wispy clouds to break up the great expanse.

I always forget to look at the trees' name tags, so I have no idea what sort this one is. I'm still going through the other pictures I took, maybe one or two others will be worth posting.

Took this after a good day of rain. The single leaf was all alone in the parking lot, with drops forming all over it. Ran back inside and grabbed the camera and a +4 close-up. I like the way it turned out (this is the best out of 22 attempts).

The subject of this picture was spotted by Jen, and I obliged by taking a few snaps of the tree in question. I used Lightroom to do the initial processing of the image - color corrections, cropping, etc. Photoshop was used to bring out the eye shape and make it ready for the web.
