Pink Snow

All the cherry blossom trees are now coming into leaf and so that means all that blossom that had been exploding on them....has to go somewhere and so we get tons of "pink snow".

It is one of the things that I miss from our house on the Island. The cherry trees in the garden were spectacular but now I have a whole town of them! It's rather lovely.
This was one morning at the bus stop and the light was perfect. For 7.00am it was a beautiful  morning.
This is the same corner and where all that cherry blossom is now...still beautiful and like a coating of pink fluff


All over town is the same scene

This is the other side of town, early morning in Everhart Park...I'm a little too late for a really good "pink snow" moment... But then I saw this shot through the trees

What really caught my eye was the dandelions catching the morning light in their fuzzy seed heads






They sort of glowed and look at the blossom trees in the distance...bright pink or what!!!!


This cherry tree is one of my favorites and it had a ton of blossom! Literally snowed all over the parked car

And the same another day!!!

Liked this one as it shows you how much blossom is there and how deep it is...it is like snow! just nicer!!!

and some more

This tree I saw on the way to the supermarket this morning and I had admired it full bloom but couldn't believe how much blossom this tree had held...well you get a sense of that!

This is a red bud transforming into delicate leaf

This is the boys yesterday morning....I think these two pictures need no words...or maybe they do....something like "Oh look I have a Louie accessory"

"oh all right then..I'll hug you!....if I must."

I hope that this picture shows for you...it is wisteria outside Louie's old school...this is just stunning. I had had to go back for this shot as the next one was taken at the stop light :) But it shows you how big this is....
Enjoy your days...think we're getting rain...can't complain..not with all this lovely color around us....and finally..Louie was in the Local Paper this week. Hopefully you will still find it on the Daily Local West Chester newspaper webpage and the article is called Young Boy Volunteers at The Woman's Exchange..........dated Monday 4th May
