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.
