Palo Verde in Bloom

i love the desert. being born and raised here, i think it’s something in my blood. and sometimes, when you forget about the magic and wonder that surrounds you, nature finds a way to help you remember.

the palo verdes are blooming.

the delicate sprays of blossoms against the sky are so perfect it hurts. i caught myself stopping in the middle of walks to admire the way the branches bowed under the weight of so many petals.

so i present my study of the palo verde blossoms:

i like the magic of the soft focus as well - losing yourself in the blooms.
