Washington, DC has its Cherry Festival in April, but here in Southern New England, the weeping cherry trees seldom bloom until May.
Last year marked the first time I had made the up close and personal acquaintance with the weeping cherry as it bloomed in a neighbor's back yard. My hurried photographic efforts then showed my lack of familiarity with them -- so I showed the results to no one. But I began to notice that my town has cherry trees in a great many places.
This year I eagerly awaited the return of the cherry blossoms. Yesterday, just as the blooms were starting to "go by" in my neighbor's yard, I set out to try again before they disappear for another year. I am calling this single set of 4 images "Cherry Blossoms Leaving."

For the last several months, I have been pondering how best to extend my audience beyond my existing local market. Last night I reached a decision and have already acted on it. Each day I will post a photo to my site on Fine Art America. Once a total of 25 photos are posted, a rotation of additional ones will be uploaded.
This decision has not been made lightly
as I normally print each photo separately with love and care.
My new course means that I am giving up control of the final print
production (everything is 100% refund guaranteed by Fine Art
America). OTOH, this allows patrons not only to purchase prints in sizes that I
am not able to produce --which is anything larger than 12x18 inches -- but also to order photos on a variety of surfaces including canvas, acrylic, metal and/or greeting cards.
Still want me to do the printing? Contact me at jeanhenderson5@gmail.com so we can discuss the available options.
