A Photo a Day -- April 15, 2026

Spring continued to advance with more flowering trees blossoming across the area, filling the air with delicious perfume.

Using the longest zoom setting on my lens, its widest aperture (smallest f-number), and getting close to the flower allowed me to blur the background buds to focus more attention on the open blossom. I deliberately placed the focus point on the yellow stamens because that was the feature I wanted to be sharpest.
