I had heard on another forum that I participate on that the cherries were in bloom on the University of Washington campus. I was pretty amazed since they did not bloom until almost mid-April last year. It was a late spring last year and this year is an early spring - but six weeks!
I took a trip this weekend to the campus and they were in bloom. It was a wonderful sunny day and everyone was enjoying Spring. Everywhere I turned, I heard the snap of a camera or saw another person taking a photography. I went with the flow.
The trees were beautiful. The day was mild. It was an enjoyable time. I especially liked the beautiful Magnolias. Today... there are a few flurries of snow and the temperatures have dropped back down to the low 40's.

Love your pictures. We are moving into fall here in Adelaide. We had a wet and windy weekend, though it looks like it will be sunny today. Mornings are cool and I am back to wearing long sleeves for my morning runs.

Gorgeous photos = I guess that's a prime example of a tree being laden with blooms. Then snow -- a reality check. Hope it doesn't prematurely kill the blossoms and their outstanding colors. Great post. Of course, I'm partial to college campuses! m

Love these photos. The close up looks almost like it is a clay flower. Cool!
