Ah spring!   The sounds and smells come alive.   The birds sing their songs and flowers blossom with their profusion of scents.

May is a great wedding season because there is never a shortage of backdrops.    One of my favorite attractions is the Crabapple tree.    This shot was taken at the entrance of Edinburgh Golf Club.  I love the white blossoms against the feminine gathering.   It totally lights them up.    

Do you like this image better in color or sepia?

 

Here is some more spring.    I took this years ago at Lakewood Cemetery and I’ve sold it as a card many times over at flower shops and gift stores.  I’ve given it a twist here with a antique finish.

 

This image is what you call a picture within a picture.   I was driving through Tangletown in Minneapolis after an evening photo shoot and the pink flowers drew me in.     I took many shots but this particular background in one of my images spoke to me, so I cropped it.    There is an interesting play of complimentary color and balance and  the image also has a yummy painterly effect.
