April Theme Day: Water


Welcome to April Theme Day: Water!
The pond up the road summons me for an annual photo every end of March. These Yoshino Cherry trees have a luster like snow, and the fowl along the banks bask in the sun along with the greening of the grass. (Click for a larger picture.)

Such a beautiful photo, of a beautiful view!

Andree said...

Wow! My son lives in Washington, DC, and now I can see what he says I have to see. That is fantastic. I bet they smell great. The one year I went all the way down there for the cherry blossoms, they did not bloom! Your photos are almost as good as being there (but without my son!)

Halcyon said...

Beautiful photo. I love the cherry blossoms and the water. Do they give fruit?
