Cherry Blossoms by the Skokie Lagoon



I just got back from a trip to Boston and since I had time after school
 today I biked around the Skokie Lagoon to see if there was anything
 blooming that hadn't been there before. Since it's been spring for a few 
weeks now there's green everywhere and-- instead of just blue bells-- 
wildflowers of all sorts have popped up along the bike trail. I spotted
 this cherry blossom (?) tree and thought that the red color looked unique.


I've started keeping a UV filter attached to my 18-55mm lens, and although 
the filter doesn't produce a distinct effect, it seems like the sky is usually 
somewhat bluer and other colors are usually more contrasted and saturated.
