We went to see Hanami, the cherry blossoms at Hakone Gardens, a Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. It was an enchanting experience to walk at night below cherry trees in full blossom, and along other trees.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Although we are not religious, in December we like to have an advent wreath with 4 candles on the kitchen table. I took this shot of a burning candle with an ultrafast f/0.85 vintage X-ray lens made by JML Optical. The depth of field is very shallow at about 5 mm. With this, the lights in the backyard form big bokeh bubbles that almost fill the width of the frame. The checkered pattern on the bubbles is from the screen door.

We went to a Yuri Gagarin party at a big mansion in Cupertino. Oh, so much creativity and joy! Here is a candid shot where the imagination can flow.

Taken during my evening hike at Rancho San Antonio Open Reserve tonight.
Photograph Details -
Nexus 6 - Awesome camera with excellent details in shadow areas. Tends to overexpose. However, if you meter for the highlights (in other words - touch the bright areas in the frame..for example around the sun here)..it does an excellent job.
Post Processing - I used Snapseed 2.0. Lifted Shadows, adjusted ambiance, saturation, selective saturation burn, contrast, and sharpness. All on my mobile device (Nexus 6).
I am really impressed with how tools for photography have become completely mobile. It is scary enough for me to start thinking that DSLR will become obsolete for 80% of my use cases and 100% of a casual photographers use case!
I am planning to do an instructional video for editing using Snapseed.

It was pretty windy so unfortunately I got a bit of tripod shake so the 3 exposures didn't align perfectly.

View from Page Mill Road above Palo Alto along my temporary commute route (while my usual route is being cleared of a huge rockslide from the recent rains.) The cluster of tall buildings at the right is downtown San Jose; the white dots at the horizon are Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton in the Diablo Range.

The spaceship has landed... and it's in Sunnyvale. Long-time valley residents will recall that the Bank of the West at 380 South Mathilda used to be a First National Bank. The building, designed by architect Melvin A. Rojko, was constructed in 1962 and opened in 1963. There used to be four drive-in teller windows positioned around the circumference of the bank, much like a drive-in restaurant.
