One of the most attractive of the winter flowering cherry trees comes into bloom around the second week of February in my part of England. I've photographed the particular specimen shown above before, but haven't produced a photograph that I've liked. So, in the hope of getting something that pleased me I took a macro lens on a walk that took in the tree. The shallow depth of field areas set off the sharpness of the main bloom to much better effect I think. The lingering raindrops added a further dimension.
