Spring in Richmond 2015

Spring time is a glorious time of the year. Cherry blossoms are a sure sign of warmer weather and flowers are coming. This is at Brown Island down at the river in the city. Blossoms add a nice back drop and they are easy to get to even so close the the center of the city. Plenty of people out enjoying the weather.

Cherry Blossoms Velvia

Blossoms were great this year, here are a few blossoms that I took my my Fujica AX-3 on Velvia 50 fujifilm. I wish there was more pink here in Richmond but most of them were white or slight pink. There is quite enough places to see blossoms in Richmond. These were taken at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens in Lakeside. The gardens had installed Cherry trees all around the pond which is new this year. They are not all that amazing but in a few years when they grow and become larger they will be great.

Some blossoms had fallen on the pond in the Japanese garden…

Bottom by Film

I have made a post earlier before when I did a photography meetup and we walked downtown in the bottom of Richmond. I had also brought my Voigtlander Bessa R2 using Portra 125.

We checked out the farmers market where there was no one really since it was in the winter. Empty spaces were just sitting there with their number painted on the pillars.27830005

The amount of stickers all over the city is amazing. It is like the new graffiti.
