First of the new floral dresses for Spring. I guess I've needed a bit of a jump start working my way out of Winter, floral dresses usually do the trick. That and some fun new Nine West sandals,
Vivienne X3 in fuchsia.
... with an upward tendency !:-))

♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
Next stop, Chappo Spring. I spotted this on Google Maps a few years ago and decided to go for a look. Interesting, but not sure if it was worth the almost 10 mile round trip on the rough road.
Not sure of the history of this place. It doesn't appear to be a mining camp, but more like a homestead. If anyone knows, please comment.
The wind carries my song
From my lips to the corners of the earth,
And the flowers in gladness bloom,
The trees stand a little taller,
And the springs bubble from the roots of the mountains.
The wind carries my whispers
From my teeth to the skies.
But I am oblivious to their sound;
My musings fall not upon my own ears.
Give me grace to renounce my own voice on the wind,
For sometimes I don’t believe it’s there,
Despite the love of flowers for the sound in air.
And yet I sing on
Desperate to hear the melody for myself,
Clinging on to an ancient belief
Give me grace to renounce
Persephone, by David Mills
I went to see the Hanami, the cherry blossoms at Hakone Gardens, a Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. It was a very busy place on Sunday. This is the main area with the pond, and the Upper House in the back.
I processed a realistic, a paintery, a photographic, and a balanced HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
