It's camellia season in Portland, at least the showier ones; others have been blooming for over a month. The two larger photos are the "tree" at the front of my house; passers-by stop to stare at the wonder of this tree, which seems to be one tree but it has both solid and candy-cane blooms.
There's also a very old weeping cherry, looking like an old ent; I expect it to uproot and walk south someday.
The basic process is background of Artsy + Solid Papers + Transfers; Linear FotoBlendz used for all photos, some extended with additional brushes. The camellias on the upper right are extractions.
MultiMedia and dimensional elements and word art added.
