The red bud tree next to our house.
I'm not sure what this is, but it's a pretty bush in the back yard.
The pear tree out front.

All of my photos this week are SOOC (straight out of camera. . .heh, I'm learning acronyms) I've been messing with some of the manual settings to try and enhance photos instead. I think they all came out pretty well, minus the last one which is a tad dark.

Beautiful! I can almost smell the pear tree.
ReplyDeleteI sacrificed my allergies to get some flowering tree shots this week as well!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to try to learn new manual settings. Good job. Love the pictures and they make me want spring so bad...which is still a few weeks off in Wyoming. :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I LOVE all the trees this time of year. Gorgeous shots. Glad to find another chipotle addict like myself. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Winter is over, but the pollen? The pollen sucks! The trees and buds are beautiful sights though.
ReplyDeleteWow, those pear blossoms! And that sky! Gorgeous SOOCs. =>
ReplyDeleteWe used to have a tree like that at our previous house and beside the fact that it lost limbs ALL the time, I loved it in the Spring!
ReplyDeleteAnd in response to your ? on my 3rd photo, yes I did brighten it a bit in Picasa but that is all.
I really like your second shot!
I want your pear tree! And great job on the manual settings! I should work on that more to minimize my processing!
ReplyDeleteNice shots! Our pear tree is bloomin' like crazy this week too!
ReplyDeleteI love the last one. I don't think it's too dark. It's a nice effect.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. I love redbuds!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I don't think the last one is too dark at all. In fact, I think its perfect AND my favorite! Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThe last pear tree shot= awesome! Great shots.
ReplyDeleteLove the red bud! We've got tons of those in our neighborhood...but of course not in our own yard!
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing your pic's I should have taken pictures of our trees with their new buds and flowers. Great shots!
