Raining Flowers

Apr 11, 2008 12:14

The Cherry Blossoms are in bloom in DC, and its one of the best times of year to be up here. I went down to the Mall two weeks ago and got tons of pictures of the trees in full bloom. And while it was a sight to behold, my favorite time in the season is happening now. The trees have blossomed and now they flowers are starting to fall off. While that might seem tragically morose, its actually quite stunning to see a gust of wind peel off a couple thousand tiny blossoms and send them raining down. Its like seeing snow on a clear and sunny day. The green grass is littered with white/pink blossoms, and every new gust of wind whips the whole thing up again.

There is poetry in there; dead flowers, snowing pedals, wilting in spring, and so on, but since I am no poet I will simply say its neat.
