A Pink Snowfall


What goes up must come down. My neighborhood was blessed with a blanket of pink and white blossoms. Ahhh .......spring!

Looks a little more like Fall in this shot.

Bergson,
Oui, mais je n'en voulais pas sur la photo! :)

Eeyore, I was in a hurry and should have gotten out of the car and turned around, and missed the fire hydrant that Bergson spotted!

Daryl said...

Oh pretty ... we get a blanket of green from the Ginkgo trees that line our street .. if it rains it gets slippery ... this, yours, is a lot prettier

Pink snow, that's exactly it.
Does it smell of honey too?

Just the sight of it makes me faint.

Showers with flowers. Something like that. Sure would make a black car pink.

Oh very pretty V. The blossom here has just started to open, it's very late this year due to our cold never ending winter! Glad it's starting to come to an end. Even the Daffodils are only just flowering!

Anyway! Hope you are well. Just had a look back through your recent posts. Your photography just carries on getting better and better (damn you! lol!)

I'll be back soon to check up on you and keep an eye out for slipping standards :)

Take care
Marley

That is so cool. It will happen here in a couple of weeks. Almost good enough to eat. Almost.
