Some of the camellia’s are starting to bloom along with tulips and dogwoods. These photos were taken at the end of a day. Sometimes the colors seem deeper at dusk as opposed to dawn, in my humble opinion.DSC_0319-001 DSC_0320-001 DSC_0321-001

Some images taken from the Amtrak train that runs between Seattle and Portland. Two of the images are of an industrial area the train passes by and the third shot is looking south, towards downtown Portland as we cross the Willamette River.

And, here is the traditional floral view. One of the “rules” I was taught in a workshop is: “Never shoot flowers from above”. One of the next “rules” that was presented was: ” The rules should be bent or broken from time to time, whenever you feel the creative urge”. So, there you have it. As much as some would like to make Art a “Science”, basically it is whatever works for you that should be applied.
