Two views of the same tree

A colleague and I had a quick lunchtime field trip to an area on campus known as "Ilam Gardens". It belongs to the University and is a beautiful spot. These are my two favourite photos. I have to confess the first "impressionist" one was not deliberate, I was having some problems with my lens and snap a few random photos. Very pleased with my creativity and "skill" though!

Beautiful Spring day here - 22 deg (C) and no wind.
