A Wish for Spring Cherry Blossoms

The first touch of green adorns a springtime cherry tree.

Spring! A time of renewal, rebirth, rejuvenation! After a winter of stark whites and tired browns the sudden resurgence of green to the landscape is uplifting. When the first tiny little buds appeared on the tree outside the kitchen window of my new home I was watching with excited anticipation. I had thought from the shape and bark of the tree that it might be an ash. But as I watched those buds unfurl it soon became apparent that this tree was going to blossom. And then I had the quick realization that one of my wishes had come true. I had a cherry tree.

  2. So beautiful Julie! I am still waiting for my spring. I am not sure where it has gone to. It was here for a bit and then disappeared. Haha!
    (I'm not sure why I'm laughing as it's all just very sad.) ;)
    Hope that you are having a beautiful April Julie!

  6. Hi Julie!
    You have captured spring perfectly! Just beautiful! We must be on the same wavelength, I just took pictures of the buds on my grapevine!
    I love the beauty of spring buds on trees and flowers, they are all so unique when you take the time to look.

    Happy Spring!

    1. Tracey I know you have a gardener's heart and I'm not surprised that not much escapes your notice in the natural world. I look forward to seeing your shots!
