I’ve been celebrating the vivacious colors of Spring these past few days by way of taking pictures of the most absolutely amazing flowers that seem to be everywhere. Each picture is a work of art, I think, and I celebrate each one by making it my ‘photo-of-the-day.’ If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you have only to click here to learn more.
And so this little post is meant to be an extension of this celebration, if you will, only, I am grouping a number of such pictures together so as to offer a more expansive view of these sights that are so excruciatingly beautiful that they do take my breath away! Most of these are large flowering trees that give out blossoms before leaves, such as non-fruit bearing apple and cherry trees and magnolias.
See for yourself what I mean. The fact that I’ve lived here for many years, and have seen these very sights every year this time of year–more commonly known as Spring, the season that comes before Summer–is no dampner to my exuberant spirits at seeing them again each year!
To be surrounded by such exquisite beauty that is so fleeting is a most magical thing. Check out a sampling of this beauty in the pictures below. The show does indeed go on…
