Flowering Trees At The Botanical Gardens
This flowering tree at the Botanical Gardens in San Francisco provided such an interesting color scheme that I had to grab a couple of photos. The dark trunk and branches against the pink and while flowers just brought out a beautiful pastel colored palette against a blue sky backdrop and earthtone brush.
Different angles of the same tree brought unique scenarios to the story. The brilliant colors of this tree are not adequately captured in the photos. It is something glorious to be experienced and savored. It is mesmerizing in it’s vivid detail. I often wish I had the ability as an artist to capture nature such as this on canvas. Maybe in a next life? Until then my photos will hold lasting memories.
The gardens are full of unique and exotic, plants, trees and flowers. It is a photographer’s dream. So, if you love to take photos and are in the area, take a jaunt out to the gardens and put your camera to work.















Oh, very lovely. Thank you so much for sharing. I really love the contrast in the picture. Now, if we can only stay there very long and be in that tree. Love it.
betchai - wouldn’t it be great to have a tree house in there
