blossom

Spring in bloom ~ Bothell, WA ~ 03.31.07

I saw this bud opening up today, and thought it fit perfectly with the quote Seren proposed a just few days ago. So I made a portrait to share here.

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." ~ Anais Nin

Awesome. The colors here are so rich. I love that field of green---is that a blurred background of actual Washington greenery or a Photoshop thing?

Orange kitty is cute. Cats have peculiar personalities.

The pink daisies are delicious enough to eat. I especially enjoy the blend of light and shadow on these.

The field of green is grass in the background about 300 ft. away. And though I did use Photoshop to edit the photo and resize it, there's no Photoshop magic here - just a bit of dodging and burning. : )
