In fact you are referring to two series, but yes, I shot from more angles, and selected. The cherry-tree, as told to other luggers off-list, is one in a series, and this one was shot from the top of a kitchen ladder as I wanted to preserve as much of the general balance of the tree by keeping the lens axis more or less horizontal - I even have a shot where I can be seen , my shadow at least, a long shadow on top of the ladder ;-) The pink flowers were taken in another garden, on the following Sunday - no ladder, but two days of heavy rain in between, hence the magnolia leaves in the grass - sad Thanks again for viewing.
