Beauty...  
... there are drifts, literal drifts of plum and cherry blossoms, now. Tender white and pink petals drifting to tan and bruising to brown all piled up against walls, concrete gutters, or under monuments. But the air still tastes like honeysuckle around the trees, turning all green with newly furled leaves. Only a few days more.

You're very welcome. :-)

Jet loves picking up double-handfuls of petals and flinging them in the air, "It's SNOWING!"

You're very, very welcome! I suspect cherry blossom time has already come and gone in the Northwest.. but it gets so damp there. It's been so dry here, the petals can flow... it's just amazing to see. *grin*
