weeping cherry

Posted by Chris (South Jersey, United States) on 17 April 2008 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.

A view of the weeping cherry tree in my front yard. This time of year when I mow the grass under this tree I become covered in pink blossoms since the branches hang low to the ground.

I'm thanking you, God, out in the streets, singing your praises in town and country. The deeper your love, the higher it goes; every cloud's a flag to your faithfulness. Soar high in the skies, O God! Cover the whole earth with your glory! And for the sake of the one you love so much, reach down and help me—answer me!Psalm 108:3-6

I am on vacation for a few days and will not be able to comment on your pictures - thanks for stopping by and I will try to catch up when I get back.
I hope that I can become a better photographer with the examples here on Am3 and by getting your feedback on my images.

I may not be able to reply to each of your comments - but they mean a lot to me and I thank you!

Really beautiful shot. The only thing I would say is - the bottom set of flowers not in focus is a bit distracting. i really like the overall effect though. Keep it coming!

@Nicole: Thanks for your comments - I actually like that out of focus flower in the bottom - for me it adds depth to the image and makes it a little more 3 dimensional. The great thing about art is - we are both right!!

This is just gorgeous Chris, a magnificent photo of your lovely tree. we have had a cold spell thats gone on for a couple of weeks, and spring is in a spell of suspended animation for the moment, so its nice to see such colour and vibrancy across the pond.
