Spring Flowers in Oregon City | Part Two

Spring Flowers in Oregon City-Camellia

On Sunday, April 15th my wife, puppy and I walked around parts of Oregon City and took photos of different spring flowers...especially Tulips.

You have to do this while you can because it rains in Oregon.  Other than getting your camera and you wet, the rain can beat down the flowers and that's the end of it.

And, tulips don't last all that long, either.  When my wife planted tulips in our yard she spaced the planting out so that they bloom at different times. You can really tell the difference...some have opened up completely and others are closed, or haven't bloomed at all.

The photos here are not just snapshots. I post-process the photos in special software to make them look different. Some will almost look like paintings.

Flowering Quince

This is one of the coolest bushes that grow in or around our yard. This particular Flowering Quince bush is huge.  My camera was on a tripod extended at it fullest and I still had to shot upwards.

I wish I could tell you that the Quince is ours, but it is not. It grows in our neighbor's yard and comes over out the fence just a tad.

The Quince was shot in High Dynamic Range Photography mode so it may look a little strange..meaning three different exposures were taken of the same thing and merged in special software.

It seems to be an early spring bloomer..same as camellias. The Quince makes an excellent floral arrangement sitting on our coffee table all by itself..well, it grows over our fence and that makes it fair game!
