March 20th

Resplendent cherry

Transient beauty breathing

Blossom pink and white

 

Flowering cherry trees at this time of year are just stunning, the fact they flower in such a small window of time is one of the joys and sadnesses of the season. It’s a bit of a Haiku cliche to mention cherry blossom, I think of a shinto priest scribing as the blossom falls down onto his bald pate. A tear falls on his parchment….. yeah, all cliche’d, but sod it. I don’t care! It *is* beautiful :)

A photo I took from down the lane.
