Description
Honored to announce that "When It Snowed Pink Petals" came in First Place out of 271 entries in the Fine Art America contest "Three Trees And A But" Friday, August 31st, 2018. Sincere thanks to the contest administrator, Maria Costello, and to everyone who voted for my image. Congratulations to the other winners!!!
A blossoming pink cherry tree stands in the sunshine on a perfect blue-sky spring morning. Petals fly everywhere on one of those frisky spring breezes. The petals are in the air, in your hair and covering the lawns on the banks of the tidal basin in Washington DC. The Cherry Blossom Festival, always a delightful event in the city, is in full swing.
Neighbors down the street from the house in which I grew up had a magical tree in their front yard. Looking back down through the tunnel of time, I'm not sure now if it was a cherry tree or a pear tree ... if it bloomed pink or if it bloomed white in the spring. It doesn't really matter.
I just remember standing beneath it and thinking it was snowing. How excited I was. I must have been really little at the time ... at a time when I had not a clue what things like seasons were all about. Not a clue about weather. Why I'd go outside one day and be covered in cherry blossoms ... or kicking golden leaves around ... or sliding down a snowy hill in a sled ... I had no idea. It all just was what it was and I never questioned it.
I figured it out eventually .. but I still find days like these no less magical.
Fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... this image will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."
