Yesterday I strolled View Street which is lined with flowering trees from Cook to Douglas. I thought about plum blossoms and cherry blossoms and Japan.
The trees are a month late blooming this year. Usually you can be casual about a flower walk, see them in bloom while passing in a car and plan to come back in a few days or a week or so and have them still in full bloom.
Not this year.
There is some catching up to do. The blooms were hardly out when the leaves began to appear.
Splendid . Different.
This morning, walking toward town along Fort just past Moss, in light rain, this tree was encountered.
Magnificent.
Urban orchards.
