Flushing Meadows Corona Park has been the site of two Worlds Fairs here in New York City. With fruit trees flowering in our area my wife and I took a walk with our cameras to enjoy nature and history.

Hi Morris, don't mean to hijack your thread, but does anyone have an idea to make these spectacular spring tree blossoms stand out? I shot my front yard crab apple yesterday (a month earlier than usual), and it seems kind of bland.

Hi Mike,
Flower photography is an art of it's own. Time of day can make a difference as well as the angle of the light. Sometimes backlight is best. Use a polarizer and you can remove the reflection created by the wax that forms on some flowers. Have a look at my flower folder on my site:

I was there back in the early 60's for the worlds fair. I was a teenager with the lowly Barrackville High School band. I still remember a lot of details from that trip. Seeing your shots of the Unisphere brought it all back.
