Soft focus

I found a soft focus setting on my camera and tried it out on blackthorn blossom. I think it is quite effective! I really should explore the settings on my camera more often. The extra is a regular photo of the blossom.
The blackthorn seeded itself in a corner of our garden and this year it is covered in blossom. We are presuming it is a blackthorn, but maybe it is something more exotic, who knows.
Very windy today, but not cold. I spent a little time outside and deadheaded some daffodils, but it is very muddy underfoot and I think I would do more harm than good if I did any more. Normous is outside with some secateurs - don't ask!
