Yesterday’s photo is of a little cluster of blossoms on a plum tree. The tree itself looks a lot like a blossoming cherry tree to me – very pretty – so I’m glad I got some pictures while it’s in full bloom.

It was a really bright day though, and the color ended up looking “blah” so I had to edit the photo a little to bring out the great colors of the sky, leaves, and centers of the flowers. Using Picasa, I sharpened the photo a bit, and then increased the saturation a little, and I think it looks pretty good now.

Here is the same photo, but in sepia:

Since I’ve been taking so many non-jewelry photos lately, and having such a great time working on my photography, I’ve decided to devote a blog to just my pictures. I’ve had the domain for a long time, and was using it to test new wordpress features so I wouldn’t break this blog every time I wanted to change something, but I figured it could be put to much better use.
