This being the appropriate time of year, some photos of the many different kinds of cherry trees in Vancouver. They are taken throughout the month of April, because different varieties bloom at different times. The sun is also an intermittent presence, so some of these are very gray day, but the flowers are beautiful.
The pics are taken in my neighborhood, Fairview, some right on my street; at VanDusen Botanical Garden, and at Queen Elizabeth Park. I was never able to get good pictures along False Creek, which is a shame, because cherry trees, water, city, mountains - but I needed a proper camera, I guess. I also didn't make it out by the University while the trees were in bloom, but it's a pain to get to without a car.
Vancouver is absolutely covered with cherry trees of so many different kinds. You can see what happens when the rain and wind knock the petals off, which causes some people to be less than thrilled with the coating of slippery, decaying petals. They're really beautiful, though, so I figure it's the balance inherent in the deal.
From all these trees
in the salads, the soups, everywhere
cherry blossoms fall
