Cherry Blossom Time - Seattle

It's Cherry Blossom Time at the University of Washington ...


Snapped all these pics of the Cherry Trees at the University of Washington yesterday.
Pictures can't really do justice to the scene, but here are a few anyway. This was the first day for students in the new session and there was a good crowd in the courtyard.

  1. Even if your pictures can't convey the entire magnificence of those cherry blossoms, they sure go a long way towards it! So lovely, John. Thank you. :-)

  8. These are wonderful photos, John. You captured the beauty of the cherry blossoms, on the next to the last day in their prime, as well as the vibe given by all the people enjoying our version of ‘Hanami’ (Japan”s cherry blossom viewing). They are so very beautiful and transient. All the more to savor and treasure such moments. Thanks for sharing God’s gifts through your talent.
