Working with what you’ve got — I thought I was looking at a cherry tree with full cherry blossoms. I was in the Costco parking lot of all places. Another shopper told me it was a tulip magnolia. Still very pretty! I wish I would have composed this one a little better, but in the end, for the most part, this editing project is about working with what I’ve already got.

The original is below. You can see that I cloned out the lamp post, adjusted the colors, and added a bit of grain.
