It is sunny today--the plum tree blossoms thickly cover the trees along our street. Such lovely pink booms--they remind me of a bevy of brides, joyfully dancing along the sidewalk.
For more fabulous pink stuff, join Bev at How Sweet the Sound!
Love. Love your photography and your desriptive words. What talent! Visiting from Pink Saturday. I also like your picture of the Gorge. Beautiful! Happy saturday!
I love the dancing brides image that comes to my imagination - last year some of the blossoms fell off early, and skittered around upside-down ... like beautiful pink brides dancing to the wind ...
When I see something unexpected, unusual, or beautiful, my focus involuntarily suddenly sharpens and intensifies. The sensation tickles! That's when I say something "fills my eyes." It is the greatest compliment I can give.

Welcome to my World
I have always loved taking pictures. I took my first and only photography class at West Linn High. The photo lab was located in the bowels of the school near the gym's locker rooms. There we learned to manage typical dark room techniques and procedures for developing film.
Things have radically changed since those days. Today's technology no longer requires pungent trays of chemicals and a dark room.
With the invention of the digital camera, I was set free to capture the amazing, unusual and the unexpected. My camera is always by my side.
I never know when, or where I will be able to capture some delicate beauty, or unexpected oddity.
Welcome to my world!
Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that you'd think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in a contented dazzlement of surprise.

I am interested in people, stories, art, drama, music, nature, and photography.
I love to photograph the forest, my garden, birds of all kinds, the river, my town, our historical home, the ocean and so much more. The stories one can find are endless.
The seasons of nature are fascinating to me. Every year, time and the seasons seem to vibrate with increasing intensity

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.-- Mark Twain

You did a nice job on capturing the pinks in this tree.

Hi, Clytie suggested your blog to me ... wow, I love your work! I am now following you and am adding your link to my sidebar under "Oregon Bloggers".
Have a great week,

Wonderful blossoms, and great capture. I love the "bevy of brides" image, it's perfect for the photo!
