I've been outside every chance I get to take pictures of the trees while they're in bloom. Last year I missed them while I was in the hospital and I want to make up for what I missed!
Sandra has humored me and we've been out to see them at multiple "viewing spots" around the city. She jokes that they're everywhere and it's true, but I feel somehow it's different if I see them in a different neighborhood.
I love the way they soften the trees, like pink clouds of cotton candy. It makes me feel like I'm living in a fairy land and has definitely enhanced my love of Spring.
Now the flowers are starting to fall off the branches and they come down in big shimmery clouds of petals.
