April Spring

So many times, I'll be driving along and see things I want to shoot.  However, at that point, I usually have to slow the car, turn around and go back to get it.  This was just such a case.  I saw these trees in bloom about 2 weeks ago, along the highway in Smithville.  I knew I had to go back right then and shoot them---there were 4 of them.  The light and blooms, everything, was right, right then.  Or I thought so, anyway.

  1. I like that you singled out a lone tree.

  2. Glad you thought so. Thanks for the note. I wanted to keep it simple and clean with just the tree, the blooms, sky and grass. I saw I could and liked the result. I'll show three together soon.

  3. Way cool. The essence of the prairie in western Missouri and eastern Kansas.
