My Facebook “memories” reminded me that one year ago, I was
already sketching pink blossoms on both sides of town. Our cold winter and
ongoing cold spring have kept the buds tightly closed a lot longer this year. I
didn’t have high hopes, but the sun was out, so I took a drive over to Sunset
Hill (with pink pencils in my bag, just in case).
As expected, the buds were still tight but showing their color. I’ll keep checking on them periodically, but I’m going to guess they still have at least a couple of weeks yet to go.
With or without blossoms, this cherry is my favorite on the block. I’ve sketched it several times, and I also made a graphite portrait from a photo in Kathleen Moore’s class four years ago.

Lovely photo of the buds. Hopefully the tree will be in full bloom soon. This morning my memories showed that 7 years ago we had a snowstorm that left 13 inches of snow. lol
ReplyDeleteWeather sure varies from year to year! Hope we're both sketching blossoms soon!
DeleteCherry trees are in bloom down both sides of 28th NW, heading south from 85th. Not sure if that's new since you were here last week, or if you were on the wrong street. ;}
ReplyDeleteI'm on it!! Thanks for the tip!
