Cherry Blossom
At this time of the year - when the skies are clear and the sun shines brightly in the afternoon - there is nothing nicer than walking down the street and happening across the beautiful sight of striking pink cherry blossom covering the grey pavement - perfectly complementing the lush and well-kept greenery that graces the borders of dwellings in suburban London. For me - this is a very narrow window of opportunity - as it's just before my hayfever hits - and it's just before the green turns into the "burnt yellow" so characteristic of England in the Summer. For me, at least, it's sights like this that must be enjoyed while they exist!

That looks so very pleasing. A bright splash of pink on an otherwise grey monotony.

That's lover-ly.
I'd show a photo of some muddy, squished brown grass that is our front lawn but I'd just wouldn't have the same ah-factor.

Sat: It is very pleasing indeed.
JustZen: life is as great as it can be. Hope it is for you too. You take care too. (And thx for adding me to your blog list!)
Lise: Yes - very "purty" ! :-)
Fi: Thanks for visiting here. Yes I can imagine what you mean. I had to remind myself that you guys are expreiencing probably the exactly opposite in change of climate to us. But having said that: (as you know) things can be pretty unpredictable here all year around!
