Camera Shy

Blossom by Moonlight.

Not really....just one of those photos that happens without a plan.  Thought I would complete a set of shots showing this blossom bursting into life on a tree next to my allotment.  I mistakenly described it as plum blossom but my gardening neighbours were there today and corrected me - it is cherry.  The plum tree is next to it but the blossom is not quite so attractive - but the plums were last year!  The cherries that may come from this tree do not stay around long enough to be picked as the birds always get there first.  Thankfully the plums are too big to be eaten by feathered friends. 
As I was lining up this shot I was aware of one large bokeh bubble and had to take my eye from the viewfinder to see what it was.  My neighbour's car had sun's rays reflecting from wing mirror or something chrome and so the challenge was to line it up to look like the moon.  It made a change and I liked the effect.
