Cherry Blossom

This blossom seems to come a bit later than other blossoms but still good to try for a new composition. We have never got cherries from these 3 trees after at least 10 years as the birds get them before they are ripe. We are supposed to put covers on them but after doing this for a few years early on and finding the birds find a way in, we gave up. The cherries are marketed well and we can buy them from the roadside fresh and real.
Thankful for:
A good book to read while hubby looks at the rugby! Each to his own! So nice.

Beautiful. I find alternative pastimes too when hubby's watching rugby. I don't mind a live match, but can't be bothered with tv viewing!

@jamibann Both partners in life are their own beings and I think need respect.

@pusspup Thanks Wylie - one always hopes that the main subject will remain so but the background is also a challenge!

Gorgeous blossom. I definitely think reading a good book is better than watching rugby

At least you get some glorious photos from the blooms! Let the birds have the cherries!

Lovely shot and tones. Talking about rugby, I do not watch but at least know who is playing! May the best side win ;-)

Lovely blossoms.
We have a huge cherry tree, but before the cherries are ripe, blackbirds and starlings come in great numbers to get them.

@seattlite Using my fastest exposure here, Gloria to darken the background!

@gijsje We don't even see the birds eating the cherries - all of a sudden they are all gone!
