The other day I showed you a photo of the view from my studio window. The white cherry blossoms were in full bloom. I had kept telling myself to take the camera out and get some shots of the gorgeousness but as is my habit I put it off. Why? What was I thinking? It's not like the trees stay in full bloom forever. I guess I was thinking that I had at least another week to shoot. We had a rain "storm" this weekend, I write that in quotes because a Los Angeles rainstorm is just a slight down pour anywhere else in the world. Unfortunately, the "storm" was a little too much for my fragile blooms and when Bells and I went out for our morning stroll (camera in hand) my stomach dropped. It looked like it had snowed the night before.

I was so sad to see the tree-lined street absent of it's powdery white beauties. We walked nearly the entire neighborhood before we found a tree that still had some rogue blooms on it.

And I shot as many photo's as my camera card could take, because I knew this would be my last chance until next year to capture the sheer beauty of this tree...
My lesson learned. I will shoot when the opportunity arises and not some arbitrary time in the near future. The bright side? You know I am ALWAYS looking for one! I have a FAB idea for a mini Souvenir Foto School session. It will be six week long, very specialized and in my humble opinion super cool. So if you are interested in joining I will have the details up tomorrow and it's FREE. Isn't that the best price ever?
P.S. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Clickin' Moms? And NO you do not have to be a mom to join. It's like digital photography crib notes...
