Cold Weather Flowers and Photoshop
The high today for Los Angeles is only 66°F; it’s been months since it’s been that cold. I’m not a big fan of the chilly weather and realized that my wardrobe is desperately in need of more long-sleeved items.
On the bright side, we’re now getting the blossoming of fall flowers. One of my favorite trees, just a block away, is nearly in full bloom. I couldn’t resist snapping a picture this morning while walking the dogs. Unfortunately, all I had with me was my cell phone which takes horrendous pictures. Thankfully, it’s nothing a little tweaking in Photoshop can’t fix! Check out the results:

Isn’t it beautiful? After the flowers have fallen, the tree usually has one or two “fruits” that look like a cross between a coconut and an avocado. It’s filled with these silky, floss-like fibers, hence its name, the silk floss tree.
