Cherry Blossoms

We didn't get to enjoy seeing the blooms this year for long, since the rain, the wind, and cold weather took its toll on spring season.

All the beautiful flowers came and went almost overnight. By the time the rain stopped, which was four days later, we were left with bare branches and leaves.

Then again, it is what it is! There is still fantastic beauty in what was left, and I just have to look at it in a different perspective.

Joining Blooming Tuesday, and Sweet Shot Tuesday!

Thanks for stopping by!

  7. My cherry blossoms don't last long either. . . lucky to have them for a week.

    Right now I have quite a few cherries on my 3-yr old tree. Now I just have to keep the birds from eating them all so I can make a cherry pie!

  11. Love your photos of the cherry blossoms. I think they portray the fleeting lifespan of these beautiful blossoms perfectly :) The cold weather this year has caused the cherry blossoms here to bloom late too but they stuck around for more than four days for us!

  13. I know what you mean by the weather disintegrating your cherry blossoms. Every year without fail (right at peony blooming time) we have several days of rain that spraddles open the weighty peonies. The blooms would be so pretty if they would last.
