Snapshot: Flowering Tree Frames Lake Afton

Editor's Note —This is a weekly series that runs exclusively on the Yardley Patch.

YARDLEY, PA —Josh Friedman has noticed something over the past few weeks on his travels throughout Bucks County.

Spring has sprung.

It's a simple phrase, but the evidence is everywhere.

Early this past Wednesday morning, Friedman snapped a picture of the Old Library by Lake Afton.

It was framed by the branches of a flowering tree next to the lake.

"I had noticed the tree the day before when I was returning home from taking photographs in the New Hope area," Friedman told Patch this week.

However, on this day, Friedman said it was a bit late —about 8:45 a.m. —in terms of the light.

"I made a point to get there very early the next day, to catch the day's soft light, just after sunrise (I took this at about 6:40 am). I knew that if I positioned my camera and tripod in the parking lot of the Continental Tavern, and used my 100-400 mm lens, the flowering tree would beautifully surround the Old Library."

And that's just what he did.
