Tiffany commented yesterday that she would take Cherry trees over Bradford Pears because they smell better. So today I share a photo of Cherry trees putting on a show as they lose their petals. The photo was taken behind the Peace Center where a pool catches the petals as they fall. The pool is part of a water fountain which causes the water and petals to slowly circulate … To see some truly remarkable nature photos check out Chuck Bishop’s photos.
my anti-spam word : gorgeous – how appropriate for this photo :)
they look great in full bloom and still do in this pool of petals
Yeah it’s so gorgeous!
I read your answer, thanks for the info! :)
Cherry trees gives the start for spring time, the smell is so nice!
I have a very full cherry tree right out my front window of my townhouse. It is beautiful when in full bloom but too soon they start to lose their petals.
Beautiful pink! I need to go look!
Kris, thank you. This is one photo I may try to take a second time. I have seen examples of slow exposure photos showing leaves in a pool. If I can this weekend I’m going to give it a try.
Dsole, thank you and your welcome.
Ann, a big front window is always nice.
Lessie, yes you should take a look.
:D I like the Pear & Cheryy flowers…when the gentle breeze blows, the tiny leaves are falling slowly…that is a very beautiful and amazing view for me.
and when the ground is covered by that crispy leaves….you just dare not step so random.
wonderful shot!!

This looks like a pleasant place to sit, rest, and reflect! Yes, the link is to a very talented photographer. Lots of equipment, too.
Yay! Cherry trees. I was just there to see Sweet Charity and admired the pretty pink petals everywhere. Thanks! :-)
