Tracy and I managed to get to the park late last week before the rains came. We expected to see forsythia . . .
I’m not sure what kind of flowering bush this is. Highland Park is very good at identifying their plants with small signs, but we couldn’t find any indication of what this might be.
The big surprise of the walk was finding the early magnolias in bud and in bloom.
I’ve been playing with the portrait mode on my iPhone recently, and love the blurred effect you can get. The trick is remembering the aspect ratio on the native app is not 4X6, so if you aren’t careful you end up having to crop more than you want. I’m used to filling the frame with the composition I want, so this is taking some practice.
Magnolias are among my favorites this time of year. We had warm, sunny temperatures again yesterday, so I’m guessing even more has burst out since Friday. You can see an increase in green every day now. I love the first days of spring!
Lovely photos. It looks like your spring is firmly installed.
…and so, for you too, the seasons turn. Lovely. I find magnolia quite difficult to capture.
Beautiful walk and magnolia blooms blow me away with their size and colors! We’re at the height of spring blooms with rhodies, azaleas, tulips, lilacs and dogwoods blooming in our yard and town. Portrait exposure on iPhones is fun and challenging.
Beautiful photos. The pink looks like weigela. So happy Spring has arrived.
I think Spring this year has been/is quite colorful…as you show in these lovely photos! Thank you!
It looks lovely! The roses in our front flower beds bloomed a ton this year (after several years of barely anything) & we’ve really enjoyed that bit of color this spring.
I’m going to have to play around with portrait mode more because you got some great shots!
