Cherry blossom

There are a row of blossom trees near Whitworth Park in Manchester that I travel past on my way into work.

They aren't in bloom for very long, but for a few weeks each year they're full of glorious pom poms of pink blossom; seeing them each morning is a highlight of my day!

They also reminded me of these photos I took of my son when he was small, and I had to dig them out again - as you can see he loved the blossom trees too!

  6. So pretty and what a sweet set of photos. What a nice way to start the day and end it. We used to have 3 huge cherry trees in our yard in Maryland and every spring it looked like it was snowing pink petals everywhere. I always loved those trees.
    Thanks for the memory.
