The thursday 3/22/05 challenge: Changing Seasons.

The bradford pear tree in our yard has kicked into full flower mode. I shot this at night using little flashlights to paint with light the stem, leaves and petals. The light trails come from waving the flashlights around behind the branch. And now for the truth it was just a bit too windy to get a crisp petal image so I had to cut the stem and shoot it inside the house. This little stem died for my photo.
