If you can't get out!!

All the best to you and yours!

also this year around Christmas time our cherry blossom across the street was blooming again a little bit.. it will bloom fully in april just like it did last time!

my pictures of 2019 weren 't satisfying me though (too many empty branches in the background) so I took one of 2015

hope you like it!

just as a preview of the real thing

Cherry blossoms

versus the delicate cherry blossoms and buds.

I found these cherry flowers blooming yesterday. Not usual to see cherry blossom in winter.

Cherry blossoms in a shopping mall parking lot. They were just gorgeous!

Sometimes I feel the need to write ...

to add some narrative to the image and to share my experience of the subject.

I even think it's as much about me working things out for myself in the process of doing this, like a gentle sifting of the wheat from the chaff for the golden grains of my own truth.

Then there are times when I feel silence would be better ....
