p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Cherry Blossom Time

In a local park there's a small group of cherry blossom trees sent by a sister city in Japan, and each year there's a gathering of both birds and photogs to enjoy the blossoms.

This is a small sample of the many shots I took yesterday, most likely I'll go back for more soon!

Enjoy!

Bob

All very nice. I've only got to one local garden this year and the timing was bad. Not sure if I missed early or late. Not sure if 3 or the last one.

Terrific work, Bob! I fear the cold has been detrimental to my apple blossoms.
