Last Year's Photo

Photo a Day, 9 April 2006...
Beautiful day out today! Spent from 1-5 at the local library for their showcase on local artists (I got to display several pieces - 4 of which will stay on display through the end of April.) It was fun getting out and talking to some other artists and actually getting feedback in person on my work. Afterwards took this shot at home of the blossoms on my Apricot tree - first the spring tree blossom ;)

Very beautiful. I love the texture and knobs of the branches.

Beautiful shot, those petals almost look transparant. Love the colours and background. gmv

Excellent work on it. DOF, colors, composition, very well done.

So fragile and delicate. Nicely done, Connie.

Very pretty and I like the paper thinness of the petals.
Find it interesting, your apricot blossoms are different from mine in color and shape.

Ah it's a beauty CJ. And congrats again on your showing. It must be kinda surreal to see your stuff hanging in public!
