A couple weeks ago my husband had a day off of work. They have been few and far between these days, and since the weather was absolutely gorgeous that day, we took advantage of the opportunity and took a bike ride together on the trail. On the way back I noticed this gorgeous tree in front of the elementary school near the bike trail. I knew I'd have to swing back through later to get some photos and I'm so glad I did.
I came back right before sunset and took these. Once at home I looked up the kind of tree and discovered it is a Magnolia tree. Oh, how sweet it smelled! I want one! But since allergies will probably prevent us from ever getting one for our own yard, I'll just have to enjoy this one for now.
I played around with some vintage processing thanks to Rita's steps on The CoffeeShop Blog. I love running actions because they are quick and easy, but I also want to learn how to do things myself, so I did these all the "hard" way (it wasn't hard at all). Plus I downloaded the trial version of PSE 10 and haven't loaded any actions into it yet.
Happy Wednesday!

Love the softness in these florals.
oh wow, these are SO pretty! Great focus!
Absolutely totally glorious images!! (May I ask what lens you used here? I guess I should check out your camera bag. I have the T3i and am so disappointed....but I have kit lenses at the moment, too. Have others picked out to order.)
I love the processing. How did you do it? I downloaded a bunch of actions too but want to learn how to do it myself before using the actions. I tried it on my photo but the effect you got is much nicer.
beautiful shots! Gorgeous!

Kim! These pictures are stunning! When I buy a house I want to blow them up on canvas and hang them on my walls!
Gorgeous. I love them all. =)
I saw a tree like this the other day and was wondering what is was. I will never have one either, thanks to allergies. But the photos you took are just stunning, and I LOVE the processing. Gorgeous!
My favorite flower, and these photographs are absolutely gorgeous Kimberly!
