Let’s go back to the cherry blossoms in Kenwood, shall we?
Here’s a closeup of a cluster:
There’s just nothing like that spring green color–it’s a perfect foil for the blossoms.
In addition to Yoshino cherry trees, Kenwood has an occasional weeping cherry.
I love their shape and wish there were more of them. Maybe they’re harder to grow?
The cherry trees below form the loveliest arches over the street. . . .
Don’t these look like pom poms?
As I said on Monday, we got there in late afternoon, so the light was beautiful. See how the sunlight plays off the blossoms. . . .
I think Jennifer of ledelicieux.com had it right the other day when she commented that cherry trees look like “fairy trees.”
By the way, Jennifer’s site is a gorgeous food blog. Her photos are guaranteed to make you drool. 
Hope your week’s going well so far. . . .

Soooooo pretty!
Thank you, Thoughtsy! Did you ever make it to the Tidal Basin?
This so beautiful. Amazing.
Thanks so much, Caroline.
Lovely photos.
I appreciate the kind comment so much.
Wonderful…my allergies would go crazy, but I wouldn’t care. So beautiful!
Luckily I’m only allergic to ragweed in the fall. Hope you don’t suffer in London this spring.
Really beautiful photos; calling them fairy trees is so fitting!
Thank you!
The pom poms are gorgeous!
Thank you for stopping by!
Thank you for your lovely comment Carole
Cherry blossoms really are so beautiful. You can’t help but smile when you see them. Did you see any fairies amongst them 
Not yet, Jennifer.
I’m bedazzled by this array. Gorgeous shots, Carole. The perfume must be heady!
Thanks, Cheryl. They’re actually not scented–just a light fresh green aroma. I think if they had a strong perfume, the people in the neighborhood would pass out!
I would love to walk in a big grove of lilacs, however.
I want to replace our plum tree with a cherry tree soon – it’s on its last legs. The cherry has fuller branches and leaves.
Love the beautiful weeping cherry trees! So pretty.
