 Bev came to pick me up after an all day rehearsal the Saturday before last. We would normally go home on the expressway, part way. But she had been caught in traffic coming out and was not putting up with it on the way back. So we went through Fairmount Park. That is when I saw this grove of trees leading from Belmond Avenue to Memorial Hall. I really wanted to shoot them and then the Tree II Challenge came up. I went to the zoo for some reason last Thursday. I asked Bev if she could pick me up at the zoo after she was done work and if she could then take me back to Fairmount Park to shoot the trees. She said yes! Thanks Bev!!

Now we did have to stop and park across the street from the grove. And it took about 10 minutes waiting for enough of a break in the cars for me to waddle my fat ass across. But eventually it happened. I actually had to run back across when I was done shooting. Hopefully no one videoed it. Fat ass waddling walk running is NOT a sight to behold.

Post: Camera raw adjustments in PSElements 6.0. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue saturation. Couple of crops. Adjust sharpness. Resize. USM.

Upon review of this picture, I gave it a higher score as I like the way the light sparkles on the blooms.
