It actually LOOKS water-laden, Kala! I woke up several times by the rain last night…but we need it. They’ve had the worst drought since 1911 in The Netherlands.
sorry, i speak only a little english (i can read it but not write it).
J’aime beaucoup l’ambiance de tes photos. il y a une unité cebntrée autour de la douceur. Tes photos ont quelques choses de particulier et c’est très agréable de visiter ton travail.
The large version really brings this photo to life and the contrast between the background blur and blossoms comes into play–and all in black and white!
Rain? I’ve heard of that. If you don’t want anymore of it, send it my way! I’d love to see what it looks like:-) Love the focus and layering on this image.
I especially love the sharp, detailed branches layered in the foreground over the softly blurred tree in the background. There is a lovely delicacy and grace here.
Fantastic monochromatic shot and very nice detail in the branches. Lovely shot!
Thanks Christopher!
Nice one!
Thanks Evelyn
Hope you have better weather now, enjoy your weekend!
The photo reminds me of the old b&w pictures;)
Thanks Marty
great shot, here in Toulouse we didn’t have rain for months
Thanks Bernard. Sorry to read you’ve had no rain.
Another marvellous photo! So artistic.
Thanks ladyfi

It has been pouring all day Ginnie. Too much rain here, not enough where you are … such is the world.
Nice photo! The blossoms are in full bloom in spite of the rain. Is it hard to hike in the woods?
Thanks Minor. No, it’s not hard – in fact, it’s one of my favorite things to do! (besides photography of course)

Well chosen photo subject for a rainy day; magnolias are always beautiful, even in B/W.
Thanks Maia
The large version really brings this photo to life and the contrast between the background blur and blossoms comes into play–and all in black and white!
I prefer the large version myself.
