Kwanzan cherry tree blossoms... by marlboromaam

Kwanzan cherry tree blossoms...

Beautiful pink double ruffled little blossoms. It's just an ornamental - no fruit. But, it won't last long and will be raining pale pink snow in my yard. They do so remind me of the pink marshmallow snowballs and Bazooka bubblegum... which makes me think of the bubblegum rock of my youth! I know, I'm so nostalgic these days. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxYJqagN8jM

So I am not sure if this is a blossom from the same kind of tree that I posted at exactly the same time tonight, but it's a beautiful shot!!

How pretty...the flowers looks so delicate!
March 29th, 2012  
What a delicious! bloom! Love it, and can just imagine the pink rain. Maybe we'll see it in a couple days?? :-)
March 29th, 2012  
Gorgeous pov and love those blossoms! Goes to prove that we must enjoy each day on this earth because beauty like this is so fleeting. Now I'm feeling nostalgic . . geez.
March 29th, 2012  
Beautiful shot....I love that pink snow!!
March 29th, 2012  
These are some of my favorite flowers! My parents used to have one of these in the front yard when I was a kid, and I absolutely loved it!
March 29th, 2012  
Hey Mags, very nice shot and thought provoking for me.... Images, Aromas, Food, Music all have nostalgic influence on me.
March 29th, 2012  
You got a lovely shot of this bloom. I tried earlier today but none of mine came out as nice as yours. And some had tons of digital noise - a disaster, in other words! I'll give it another try over the weekend as our Kwanzan are not at peak yet.
March 29th, 2012  
Wonderful lighting, so delicate!
March 29th, 2012

Ruffle is the right word for these blossoms. I always like the color of the new leaves too!

What a beautiful photo, Maggie. Thank you for the suggestion for the theme on my photo. I am off to sleep as my son has been very sick since late yesterday and I seem to be following him. Urgent Care, Pharmacy, home, dinner, a little computer and sleep. Its hard to fall behind on here but have to see how the night goes and what tomorrow brings. Fav for this photo
March 29th, 2012  
Oh My This is Gorgeous Maam!! I love it!! FAV!
March 29th, 2012  
Awesome shot! What a sweet, girlish pink! Love how soft the petals look. Will you be catching the rain of "pale pink snow" in your yard? It sounds so dreamy!
March 29th, 2012  
beautiful!
March 29th, 2012  
Can't wait for our cherry blossom - it's a late flower. This is lovely.
March 29th, 2012  
Fabulous shot! I too have one of these gorgeous trees, but its not out yet
March 29th, 2012  
Beautiful shot, love the composition and I love cherry blossom :)
March 29th, 2012  
So very, very pretty Maggie. Sadly blossoms never last long do they. Great that we can capture them forever, though.
March 29th, 2012  
Another fav for me Maggie, such a pretty soft shot and great focus =) the song made me smile too, it reminds me of one of my aunts....usually found dancing like mad and singing into a hairbrush when this song comes on LOL!
March 29th, 2012  
Pam
This is so very beautiful!! The flowers look so soft and fluffy. Great composition and colors. The background is so dreamy! A fav for me.I can't believe I have never heard of Andy Kim! He looks quite sexy with that shirt unbuttoned and long necklace LOL!
March 29th, 2012  
Fav. Just beautiful and can see being worn to school dance. Let's go to the hop, let's go to the hop....
March 29th, 2012  
So pretty! I'm sure they even look pretty once they cover the ground! Great capture!
