Dibble Avenue Northwest in Crown Hill is on my
checklist of places I go cherry blossom peeping each spring. Imagining that the
trees were at peak, I was very sad that I might miss them this year. Then last
week I saw David Hingtgen’s sketch of them, and I could resist no
longer. The next day I had to go pick up a prescription at the pharmacy anyway
(that’s considered an “essential” activity; I felt no guilt going out), so I
made a roundabout detour in the opposite direction to Crown Hill first. Safely
sequestered in my car, I marveled at the pink canopy overhead. The trees shook
their blossoms in the wind, oblivious to everything, and for a moment, so was
I.
This just makes me smile...how could anyone resist that canopy of pink? The NYC Urban Sketchers have a theme for the week and it is cherry blossoms. I'll have to go out tomorrow and see if I can find some.
ReplyDeleteHunting for and sketching cherry trees has definitely cheered me up this week! Good luck, Joan... looking forward to seeing what you find.
DeleteGreat taking this trip with you!
ReplyDeleteThanks! One more cherry blossom sketch coming up... then I'm probably done for the season. It's been especially bittersweet this year.
