Many winters, some warm days make almond and plum trees bloom, then ice freezes these little beautiful flowers. They only last few days, but they remember us spring is getting close! This variety of flower comes from a special breed of tree, that's a mix from almond and plum tree called Nebrina, it does bloom before having leaves so it makes it even more magical the moment. Also their pale pastel pink colour is really different from both original trees, and wonderfully touch.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took it at the school of my son: CEIP Ciudad de Zaragoza, in Zaragoza, Spain.

Time

It was nearly midday, ending winter.

Lighting

It was a lot of humidity in air, and later that day it rained, and it had been foggy almost all morning, so the lighting was a bit blurry and softened all colours.

Equipment

As usual, my phone, Huawei Y5, no flash, default parameters.

Inspiration

This is the first trees that have flowers, they are a mix of cherry and plum trees, we call them "nebrinas" because they bloom before having leaves, and their fruits are not eatable, these are decorative trees. I love them because it's the first flower we can see, they resist the last snows (in those scarce times it snow). They always call me to remember that winter is leaving and will come back soon. And that time my son was really interested in plants, so he wanted to have a pic that showed how they bloom and look close.

Editing

Not at all, it's a raw picture

In my camera bag

My phone, I can't wear anything faster or that size, as I shoot when it happens, I always have it at hand.

Feedback

Be fast, don't think, just feel.
