On my walk to Green Lake, I saw the pavement covered with pink snowfall wherever I had enjoyed blossoms in the previous weeks. Wistfully, I looked for one last Kwanzan cherry to sketch at the park. Although this one had started to shed petals, it still had a full crown of pink. The temperature was only in the high 50s by late morning, so it wasn’t exactly warm. Avoiding the shade, a young woman sat in full sun, sewing (repairing?) a jacket – a refreshing change from the usual phone-gazers.
What a terrific season of pink we’ve had! And as the last of the Kwanzans leave the party, just arriving are the dogwoods and redbuds.

Love that you caught the woman sewing by the tree. I've enjoyed seeing the cherry trees you captured this year. Well done!
