| Pink pompoms! |
I had heard that my favorite cherry trees on Sunset Hill
were nearing peak, but several days of rain were in the forecast. Right after I
got home from a play date with Roy and Mary Jean, it was still dry, so I
dashed out to the west side.
Indeed, the blossoms were at 99 percent, I’d say – just a
few visible buds within the huge, pompom clusters of pink blossoms! In addition
to those huge, old, gnarly trunks, what I love about this block of cherries is
that the blossoms are truly pink, not white, as many cherry blossoms are,
including the ones at the UW Quad. I adore walking slowly through this
fairyland, admiring each tree one at a time, then choosing one to sketch.

These trees are amazing! I love their gnarled trunks with the beautiful blossoms! Glad you captured them in your lovely sketch. (I love trees, and these are treasures!)
ReplyDeleteI wish you could see these in person... most are nearly a century old!
DeleteWow, what a beautiful street! I love how you captured their softness and color.
ReplyDeleteLike walking under pink clouds!
DeleteAnother beauty of a sketch and wow - all those trees along that street!
ReplyDeleteThat's why this street is my favorite petal-peeping location!
