Cherry Blossoms iPainterly

Spent the day iPainting

Spring is in the air. At least it was on Sunday at the University of Washington in Seattle. The Cherry Blossom trees were in full bloom and crowds were gathered around each and everyone of them. There were brides and grooms, children proudly climbing the branches, unique instruments being played and several groups having a picnic on the lawn. I also must not disclude the 100+ photographers shooting from every direction.
I must admit that even though I wasn't the only one taking photos with their iPhone I was the only one that had it mounted on a tripod. So as usual I gathered a crowd and passionately explained my addiction.

The above image was iPainted using PhotoForge.

The original image is below was captured with the Hipstamatic.
