"The Trees are Exploding"

...with life.

I've posted bitty previews of spring before,

and even though my little Canon

--no matter how I adore it--

cannot capture their absolute beauty...

...I hope this satisfies your eyes

until the time when

you can see the flowers for yourself,

should that time ever come for you.

While walking down this path,

strewn with cherry blossom petals,

my mind took to a bit of poetry

delivered by Mr. Knightly of Emma:

"Maybe it is our imperfections which make us so perfect for one another."

...Which, I do think,

could make any woman swoon

if delivered on such a path as this,

scattered with the milky pink

of sakura.
