Wordless Wednesday #3 -- Cherry Blossoms, Newark, NJ, April 2010


Branch Brook Park in Newark, New Jersey, hosts the largest cherry blossom festival in the United States every April (yes, even bigger than Washington, D.C).

The photo above is my header shot!








You can read more about Branch Brook Park here. It was the first county park opened for public use in The United States.

I think Cherry Blossoms have to be one the most beautiful trees! :)

Stopping by from SITS!

New Jersey Memories said...

@Leslie Limon -- they are really beautiful, aren't they? Thanks for stopping by!

catsynth said...

The cherry blossoms can be quite intense (but beautiful) in the spring.

caite said...

I grew up within walking distance of Branch Brook Park and was probably there at least once a week.
Sleding in the winter, cherry blossoms, ice skating rink, watching my uncle play soccer...lots of NJ memories!

eileeninmd said...

Life Ramblings said...

gorgeous shots of those cherry blossoms!

Eclipsed said...

I love Cherry Blossoms. I'm from NJ too! Well technically I'm from New York but we moved here a few years ago after I got married

Lynne said...

Nice shots! Thanks for visiting my blog, but I'd love to know how you found me!

This year was the first year we had heard about the cherry blossoms. Too bad for us that they bloomed earlier due to our warm weather and they were almost done when we arrived. Next year I will keep a closer watch on the whole blooming process and try to catch them at their peak!

@catsynth -- yes, they're intense but very beautiful.

New Jersey Memories said...

@caite -- Branch Brook Park is beautiful. I know people hear the work "Newark" and think it is all ugly, but that's just so not true. Men play bocce there, and everyone sits on the grass underneath all the beautiful trees and relaxes.

New Jersey Memories said...

@eileeninmd -- Thank you. I just had this vision of a close-up of cherry blossoms as my header.

New Jersey Memories said...

@Life Ramblings -- thank you so much.

New Jersey Memories said...

@Driller AA09 -- Outstanding? thank you. I plan to work hard on my photography skills.

New Jersey Memories said...

@And Miles to Go -- thank you!

New Jersey Memories said...

@Eclipsed -- well if you live here we'll consider you a New Jerseyan!

New Jersey Memories said...

@Lynne -- there is such a short time frame for the blossoms. Some of them hadn't really started blooming yet when I was there. It's hard to time it right!

gtyyup said...

Gorgeous, gorgeous...probably the only reason I'd like to visit the East. Thanks for sharing!

New Jersey Memories said...

@gtyyup -- You're welcome. Thanks for visiting!

Bean Sprouts said...

Beautiful, I sure miss Jersey. Colorado is pretty, but just not the same.

Marice said...

oh my! Cherry Blossoms are really beautiful! :) Thanks for sharing!

New Jersey Memories said...

@Bean Sprouts -- Oh, I was in Colorado in March. Very pretty.

New Jersey Memories said...

@Marice -- Thanks!

Saucy B said...

I grew up in Nutley so i've seen how pretty Branch Brook Park is firsthand on many occasions. Good memories! :-)

Ms. Understood said...

Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous!!! I love cherry blossoms. They are an awesome backdrop for photos and are so pretty to look at. I didn't know that somewhere else had a bigger display than DC, but clearly y'all actually have a center dedicated to it. We don't, LOL. Great photos.

New Jersey Memories said...

@Saucy B -- yes, it's a beautiful park!

New Jersey Memories said...

@Ms. Understood -- yes, it's beautiful. I've yet to attend the cherry blossom festival in D.C. I definitely want to go someday.

Diana said...

Wowwwwwww, beautiful! I love cherry trees. My grandparents had one in their backyard and they let me help pick cherries a few times. Great memories with the cherry tree! Thank you for sharing those gorgeous photos!

Visiting from SITS! Have a blessed and beautiful day!

=)

New Jersey Memories said...

@Diana -- They are so beautiful, aren't they? Thanks for visiting!

Carver said...

Those are gorgeous cherry blossoms and great shots.

New Jersey Memories said...

@Carver -- thank you so much!

Amy said...

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I love cherry blossoms.

JDaniel4's Mom said...

What a beautiful place to visit! The trees are amazing.
Stopping from SITS!

New Jersey Memories said...

@Amy -- they are lovely. Thanks for visiting!

New Jersey Memories said...

JDaniel4's Mom -- it's a beautiful park all year round.

~*~Eneida~*~ said...

LOVELY!! I was so lucky to be there this April (my uncle lives in Belleville!) and I was floored at how beautiful it was. It had been 10 years since I'd seen it last and there's nothing quite like it...thanks for the memory!!

New Jersey Memories said...

@~*~Eneida~*~ -- you are so welcome!

Denise said...

I am glad you shared this post about the cherry blossom festival. Your photos were wonderful.

Thanks also for stopping by and wishing me a happy birthday the other day. I appreciated it very much.

heavenisabookstore said...

So beautiful!! Incredible colors.

New Jersey Memories said...

@heavenisabookstore -- I love the different colors!

Carolyn said...

Just found your blog (via your comment on Rachel Cotterill, I think) -- it looks great and your header is beautiful.

I'm originally from northern NJ and have posted a number of times about my home town of Ho-Ho-Kus on my blog. I look forward to exploring your blog and reading much more about my home state.

Cheers from Australia.

New Jersey Memories said...

@Carolyn -- thanks so much for visiting! Great to hear from another New Jerseyan. I just checked out your blog and it sounds interesting -- a Jersey girl in Sydney and Paris. I can't wait to read more!

Janet said...

These pictures are gorgeous. I just love cherry blossoms.

Thanks so much for your nice comment on my blog. Yes, you really are my first follower! I just started this blog about a week ago. Tell all of your friends to stop by!

New Jersey Memories said...

@Janet -- I'm pleased to be your first follower! Thanks for stopping by. I agree, the cherry blossoms are beautiful.
