day 45/365

white cherry tree

just looking at these makes me want to sneeze. what’s so funny is that everything in raleigh in the spring is an electric color. we were driving down the highway today and the leaves are electric green and there are these little electric purple little trees everywhere. everything looks incredibly photoshopped. it’s awesome. i have a wedding at duke gardens this upcoming weekend which should turn out some beautiful spring foliage shots!

why 365?

lots of people have found my website lately through googling “white flowering tree in raleigh, nc.” well, ladies and gentlemen, the tree whose identification you’re seeking is the white cherry tree. my street is covered with them. sometimes i think it looks like it snowed, other times it just reminds me of popcorn…depending on how recently i’ve eaten. today was gorgeous, so i took a walk along and took a bunch of photos. think i’ll make a bunch of prints, mat them, and make a series out of these guys to hang in the office. it just screams “happy.”
