Meetup Location: At the east end of Observatory Ave, you will enter Ault Park. We will park on Observatory Ave on the hill by the Weeping Cherry tree grove. I drive a silver Nissan sedan. We will take our first images here. Then we will continue up the hill by car and turn left onto Observatory Circle. Then proceed approximately 400 feet to the parking lot on the left for park layout info. There will be much more to capture, including the three-part Gardens, and the Pavillion overlook from the top.

Equipment: Bring your tripod. Lenses: mostly will use your zooms or fixed focal length lenses:  24mm, 55mm, 75mm, tele:  24 – 70mm, 100 – 300mm.

Shooting:  Besides the usual head on shots of trees in blossom, think outside the box – what about laying on the lawn and shooting up through the tree branches? Shoot a blossom close-up or with a telephoto lens. Fill the camera frame with close-up of several blossoms. Tilt your camera.
