Last Weekend's Photo Outing, Part 2 - Cherry Blossoms My Way

I'd mentioned yesterday that there is beauty in the cherry blossoms after the peak. Here are some pictures that illustrate my point:

The first one is a very classic picture, I'll admit. However, you'll notice that the blossoms aren't exactly abundant. They've already fallen off. I like the appearance of spring "bursting through". Also, while it wasn't sunny that day, you can still see some pale blue sky. Finally, I like the curves in the picture. This tree was one of the only ones that had any blossoms left at all.

The second picture was taken from the same area, but from a different angle. I loved the "sprinkling" of blossoms, as well as the way the tree in the background drapes.

Finally, here is a set of trees after the peak. You can see a few people in the picture - this is intentional because I wanted to show some activity - but it's a very peaceful look.

Tomorrow - the kite festival.
