First of the Cherry Blossom

“I’ve been waiting for you all winter.” (I found this quote but it was attributed to no one, but it pretty much sums me up. 

I've been wanting to get photos of the cherry blossom which is weirdly almost in full bloom or just budding in different streets of the neighbourhood. But so far, haven't managed to get out there and take good pics.

But here are some where the tree was too high or the light was in the wrong place...but still the cherry blossom blooms.

It is almost the siren that winter is over - the buds appear as the wind up and then when the petals fall and it 'snows' pink, it's the siren in full wail. 





And so, a few days away from "Cherry Blossom' season, I leave you for another week.

“If you’ve never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom.” — Audra Foveo

  2. Enjoy your spring weather and cherry blossoms, my favorite season and flower! We've having a heatwave this week. 95 degrees F (35 C) currently in Southeast Tennessee in the US, and up to 100 tomorrow and Saturday :-(!

  10. So beautiful, dear Lydia. This morning I was still thinking about how you wrote half a year ago about the cold, foggy autumn morning while we were welcoming in spring. That seems like it just happened. Now it's the other way around. I enjoy the sight of the cherry blossoms. Warm greetings and thank you for the link to Nature Thursday - Elke

  11. Hi!


    Your cherry blossoms are wonderful! When they flower in large quantities, you get a real high. My dream is to experience a cherry blossom festival one day. The so-called Hanami.
