I ended up on the northwest side of the quad, on a grassy slope. I was struck by how bottom branches of all the trees had been trimmed to a certain level about 5 feet off the ground.

Cherry Blossom "Snow"
What a gift last Sunday was! - oh my!! Since I live close to the UW, I got on my bike and rode over to the QUAD, in the center of the campus where some 50-60 very large, old Kwanzan Cherry Trees were in full bloom. What a glorious sight!! Every year, during the last week of March, I check out the blooming progress of these trees. What a bonus to have them in full bloom on such a warm day!

And why the title of this posting? My grandfather painted a large majestic watercolor of cherry blossom trees on a windy day, and he called it "Cherry Blossom Snow." You can see it at my personal blog.

Stunning. The pinks are fantastic and you did a great job of depicting all the people enjoying the day.
