Flowering Cherry Tree in Bloom

My neighbor's beautiful flowering cheery tree spills over into my yard this time of year, spreading the lovely pink blossoms on my lawn like a carpet, and creating a lovely, scented breeze.  It's a wonderful place to stand, pause a moment, and look up into such natural lushness and color.  It never ceases to move me each and every year.

Soon the blooms will be gone, and shiny, green leaves will fill the space until fall, when the leaves turn color and then drop to the ground, completing nature's cycle.
