Pink & Red - Light Day 4

I tried to focus on back-lighting today. I'm disappointed with the way the pictures turned out. But I know back-lighting can be beautiful when done right, so I just need more practice. Anyway, red and pink ended up being the colors of the day, with red stop signs, buildings, and cars and the beautiful pink magnolias and the cherry blossoms that lined the street. Everything - everything - was blooming today. It was incredible.

I wish I had used a larger aperture here. I don't like that everything beyond the stop sign is out of focus. Also, it's a little overexposed. But I love how the trees are so full of flowers that it looks like snow.

I managed to capture this guy as it was bouncing around in the wind. Lot's of fun!
