Changing the Perspective

This spring, I was determined to capture the forsythia

before the delicate yellow flowers gave way to green leaves.
From previous years, I remembered the yellow flowers lasted only a brief time.

Yesterday, the rain showers left the day gray and overcast. 

Not the best weather for picture taking.

As today dawned, the skies started to clear. 

I hustled outside, and walked to the far corner

where we have several forsythia bushes growing along the garden fence. 

I quickly set about snapping photographs. 

First, I tried from the side.  Then, looking straight down.

Well, to be honest, they seemed ho-hum.  Yep, yellow flowers...nothing spectacular. 

Then on a whim,

 I set the camera on edge, below the flowers, pointing upward,

and tried again. 

Hopefully, you, too, appreciate the change in point of view.
