Cherry Trees

I had a chance this past week to go see the cherry trees just off Red Square at the University of Washington.  I am embarrassed to say, I have lived in Seattle over 25 years and this was my first visit. 

Even stepping back, I didn't catch them all in this photo.  This view must be even better on a sunny day.

These almost seem covered in snow.

The trunks are all twisty and gnarled.

Great pom poms of blooms.

Clusters of flowers were even growing from the trunks.

It was absolutely lovely.
