Crabapple Blossoms Signal Spring at Walgreens! *Smart Phone Photography Contest Entry*

in #smartphonephotography7 years ago (edited)

Walgreens brings cheer to a busy corner with this lovely (possibly) Crab Apple Tree in Wenatchee, Washington! 20180403_162043.jpg

I had to snap a photo of this beautiful tree, but I didn't want buildings and cars in the photo.
Good thing I took it before several days of rain!

tks for the upvote on my other post. Where you been? Hope you're doing well.

Hi! Thanks for asking! I think I started feeling like I was wasting my time. I read some of the posts of people who know way more than I do about Steemit. Apparently, they want a lot of writing on each post. Personally, I don't always want to read a whole lot of writing when I look at photos that I like. More importantly, I don't have a whole lot to say and I don't believe if I did, I would say it very well.

How are you? Our third grandbaby (a girl!) is nine days over-due! I am taking care of the other two while mom and baby are gone. Hope all is well with you.

Well welcome back! It certainly is a long-game for most of us. The high rollers that have lots of money to drop can make $$ more quickly.
A couple things I found very useful for getting "real" votes are joining discord chat groups, and special interest like the drone and myhuntingfishing where similar minded folks are more likely to see your post.
I also caved and have done a little on voting/resteem folks/bots to see how they work. Some are hit and miss, some scams out there, but some of the valid ones do seem to help get more visibility, increase reputation and more importantly followers to see your other good posts... Mine has gone up a lot in the last few months after being really slow for several months.
Another is just figuring out how it works, votes don't really count for anything once past the 7 day payout period. In fact, I heard rumor they can pull down from the overall pool of available...
Happy to discuss in more detail in private if you want to look me up on discord or other.

oh, and congrats (almost!) on the new grandbaby!

I spent a little time on Discord - not too much. Our baby was born last Saturday ((she's beautiful!) Thank you for the tips. I knew about the 7 days and think it should be a lot longer!

Thank you Shieha! Do you have similar trees? I see that you are from Taiwan. I know that you must have many beautiful, flowering trees!

So beautiful. I bet they smelled heavenly

Actually, I was too embarrassed to spend any more time with the tree! Too many people!

Thank you! I drove by this tree yesterday and all the blossoms are gone!
