Cherry Blossoms! Part 1
The cherry blossoms are starting to bloom at Newark’s Branch Brook Park! This park has more cherry blossom trees than Washington, D.C. There are over 4,000 beautiful cherry blossom trees.
Even though the sign says that they are at their peak, some of the pinker trees haven’t fully bloomed yet. We had a cold winter that just dragged on into spring, and they were late bloomers this year!

Have a wonderful week!
oh, I was just thinking today...as I took a few blooming pics of my own...that Branch Brook Park must be a riot of color.
ReplyDeleteEven if I hate to think of the words Newark and riot together...lol
Yes, Branch Brook is starting to look really beautiful. I hope that all of the trees are blooming by this weekend!

ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet!
DeleteLOVE the pictures!! Happy WW!

DeleteSigh, these trees are so lovely I feel joy in my heart just looking at these photos. Thank you for sharing. In the Chicagoland area this past week has been raining and very gray days to face. At least we didn't get pounded with snow. Spring will come.

Spring will definitely come soon! I hope that Chicago gets better weather soon. No more flooding!
DeleteThat is really beautiful!

DeleteBeautiful trees! I bet you look forward to them blooming every year.
