Sunday Photo(s)

Early spring in the Pacific Northwest brings with it the blooming of various fruit trees. For a few weeks in late March and early April, the parking lots of mini-malls and business parks look spectacular. Over the last few weeks I've been taking photos of them, and here is the first group of them.

The only trouble with trying to photograph them is that they don't last very long, and in the Northwest it's a rare day in early spring when you can see the sun. Still, as I was able to do last year, I found a few cherry trees out enjoying the sun.

These were taken in various spots in Federal Way, Washington.

Here are some blossoms I photographed on one of our more typical spring days:

Cherry trees are quite common in residential areas, even in suburbs with small lawns.
