As most Prunus trees, cherries had such a short and inconspicuous blossoming this spring over here. That was primarily due to Gloria storm, which co-occurred with blossom. Send more please!

Rain tomorrow and Sunday, but I will try and do my daily walk. Casey

I especially like the 3rd one with the slightly darker background. Thanks for sharing always a pleasure watching your pics

the blossoms seemed a little smaller this spring, but very lovely indeed... Casey

Just beautiful. I shot some yesterday (we have hardly any color yet)-I have to take a look and see if they're worth posting.

more or less vibrant as it were... blossom viewing parties are discouraged and/or prohibited this year, but still very lovely. Casey
