With all the trees mashed by power lines that I’ve been sketching lately, and with all the blossoming cherry trees I’ve been trying to catch before they disappear, I
kept hoping to find a cherry tree that had been split by power lines so that I
could sketch two themes in one.
That tree turned out to be just around the corner on Fifth
Avenue Northeast, but I hadn’t noticed earlier because I have to pay attention
to cars while I make the turn onto my street at that intersection.
Yesterday I guess I wasn’t paying as much attention to cars,
because suddenly there it was – two cherries, in fact. They’re not quite as
badly mutilated as some trees I’ve sketched, but it’s impressive that they are
wider than they are tall.
A double whammy! Super!!! Our trees are actually showing buds...yeah! But we woke up to a dusting of snow this morning. I swear this is the endless winter. LOL
