I was late to work today. \u00a0Camera was calling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As a photographer, light is all important. \u00a0When I can get skies with clouds that give it character and soft light (but keep the camera dry) I start looking for something to photograph. \u00a0This morning was one of those special mornings. \u00a0And the subject was one of my favorite trees busting out in glorious bloom.<\/p>\n

We have three Snow Fountains\u00ae Weeping Flowering Cherries (Prunus\u00a0subhirtella x cv. ‘Snofozam’)<\/a> in our yard. \u00a0The oldest and thus largest one is next to my back yard side fence where anyone walking through the gate can see it. \u00a0I have shot many photos of it over the years and did it again this morning. \u00a0It really is lovely. \u00a0It was a low budded tree so there are weeping branches coming all up the trunk.<\/p>\n

My newest one is also in the back yard but I planted it right out in the open for everyone to see and enjoy it. \u00a0Of course the spring bloom is always spectacular but I also like the shape in the summer and winter. \u00a0Seems our new dog also likes to lay under it (and dig holes).<\/p>\n

Probably my favorite form is the 30″ tall Snow Fountains\u00ae. \u00a0It is out front set among boulders and some shrubs. \u00a0The size is just right to add elegance to the landscape throughout the four seasons.<\/p>\n

The tree hails from Lake County Nursery in Ohio (one of their many great “ZAM” introductions) so it takes the cold. \u00a0What we are finding encouraging are the claims of successful flowering in many of the milder areas of Southern California where there is winter chill of 500 hours and maybe lower. \u00a0I won’t promise it will flower at the coast, but I think some are being tried there so we hope to find out.<\/p>\n
