Springing into spring

[fishpatrol]

It was a beautiful day today, so my mom and I went hiking around the botanical gardens and the lake. :) The thing about cherry blossoms is...well, they're definitely pretty, but there are so many bees around them! I could hear them buzzing as I stood underneath the trees, and I'd always figured that my fear of bugs was just a thing and not a phobia -- but as I stood there, waiting for my mom to take her photos, I started feeling panicked and even started hyperventilating slightly. I guess my fear is a full-out phobia after all. /o\ But, er, other than that, it was a lovely hike. ;;;

So pretty! Especially the last one, just gorgeous. <333

Oh god, I hear you on the bees. That is some scary shit for sure! I see one and immediately go the other way.

Thank you! :D There's apparently a function on my camera that allows me to pick a single colour, and make the rest of the image black and white.

It's so irrational, but phobias are supposed to be irrational! /o\ Bees (and other six- and eight-legged creepy crawlies) freak me out!

the first photograph is stunning and reminds me of this one beautiful painting that van gogh did of flowering branches against the sky. <3

the texture in that third picture makes me want to reach through the screen and touch it. *___*

Eee, thank you so much ♥♥ (Are you referring to this painting? I had to Google it because I'd never actually seen it before! ^__^;;)

That looks like a nice way to spend a day. Your pictures are so sharp.

It really was a nice day! And I even learned a few new functions on my camera! ;)

These are really beautiful, fp! Calming just to look at. (UNLIKE YOUR FACE.*)

Although the last one totally reminds me of The Christmas Cottage, and it's Christmas cherry blossoms, lolololololol


*Yeah, I'm not really awake yet.

These are gorgeous! And they make me miss spring, because it's suddenly freezing cold again :(

Thank you! :)
Spring will return to you soon! It's been unseasonably warm over here all winter. \o\
