This blossom is as big as a dinner plate. I have lived in Birmingham, Alabama for 20 years, this year. This is the very first time I’ve seen a blossom this close. Usually they are thirty feet in the air. A blossom lasts a few days & then turn the color of dirty gym socks….

This one was put into my toy box folder…
I forgot about the bucket full of baseballs. These sit in our garage, unused. The iphone shocks me sometimes. It seems to do its best shocking in low light situations. My Nikon would have needed a tripod for this shot.
The best parents, mine.

They came to watch H. play t-ball. My father told me my whole life while I was growing tall, he would say, “Our parents make us, then we remake themselves” I guess I forgot the photo part. 4 generations of photographers & now S. picking up the torch or camera rather. My father’s favorite cameras were the Hasselblad & the Contax SLR because of its lenses/optics. I guess being an eye guy, I would believe him, but can’t afford either one of his favorites. So I use the standard Nikon D90.
