Beauty of Bird Cherry Flowers

The back of my mobile phone was the background for these colorful images, I obviously was not busy as I took time to try different things with these flowers

Bird cherry flowers showily in early summer. The heavy-scented flowers attract insects, especially flies and bees. Black fruits of the bird cherry are bitter-sweet. They can be used for making tasty liqueur, or for dyeing wool as they yield a pale lilac shade. Also called European bird cherry, Hackberry

European Bird Cherry blossom

I was walking taking photos of nature blooming – lost my spectacles luckily found them as I had to go through the same spots again. I was a bit frustrated, as I have lost two pair of sunglasses while taking photos. One in the rapids of Kumiankoski few years back, One in the Chapora River in India.

Well that had nothing to do with these photos.

It is amazing how much the picture changes depending on what direction you are shooting. All these photos were taken at the same time I just walked around the tree to find nice details and light.
