Here 2 out of 8 sequential images of a peregrine falcon I posted on the Nature and Wildlife forum. If you feel like checking the set out, please click here: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1644351.
Here is an unpublished image from Zabriskie Point that I recently finished editing. Lots of dodging and burning on this one. I wanted to emphasize the light and transition from dark foreground to light background.

Looks like apple blossom Rich.Nevertheless,very lush and abundant.
Thank you. You are right, they don't look like my Cherry Blossom images.
I will correct that to I believe Crabapple Blossoms. I didn't realize that the Park had Crabapple trees. How embarrassing.

Come on Rich.Not embarassing at all.No need to correct.Flowers of fruit trees are not very easy to distinguish.And hardly anybody takes care.
In places often visited by people, it happens that someone throws out apple core,plum,or cherry seed,nut,or uneaten fig,and after a few years the tree is already blooming and bearing fruits.This was probably the case with your specimen.
At the turn of August and September, when I usually go on vacation in the south of Europe, I love to stop and collect figs ripening along the roads from trees sown in this way.
The most delicious for me are green Portuguese figs from Algarve and French figs from Perigord, followed closely by figs from Croatia and mainland Greece.And,of course,dark figs from ancient Greek Ionia in today's Turkey.
The most pleasing thing about it is that you focused your attention on this beautifull subject.Regardless of the species.
