Hi Ronald, what you have here is the non-native, invasive, and very beautiful Mimosa tree (Albizia julibrissin). I like how you have captured the blossoms so that they look like delicate pink arches, actually they are making me think of eyebrows (in a good way). It gives a linear path for the eye to follow and makes a pleasing pattern across the image. Looks like you photographed them in shade which is giving the leaves a bluish cast. Not necessarily a bad thing, just not the color that one normally sees in the leaves. Nicely done.

Ronald - Very lovely rendition of the Mimosa tree. I like those small beautiful arcs in pink and white in the flowers.

There may be a slight blue cast but I quite like it from an artistic perspective as it gels well with those pinks for me

Definitely a mimosa in full bloom. A bit of blue cast, easily removed.

Ron: I used to have one of these in our back yard in my pre-photography days. I think you have composed this very well and I also like the light. Well seen and captured.>=))>
