Chestnut Flowers

I was out for a bit of a cruise today.  There was a ship going through the Burlington Bay lift bridge so I pulled off into one of the parking lots on the Hamilton side by the pathway.  I knew it was going to take a while to pass through so I grabbed a few captures of this wonderful Chestnut tree at the side of the parking lot.  Used the 70mm - 300mm for this one and some cropping.  Not very much in the way of post-processing to get this looking good.  (May 2013)

 When I see the chestnut letting
All her lovely blossoms falter down, I think,
      “Alas the day!”
