Cherry Blossom

Survived the long cold and snowy winter, I am so glad to say goodbye to “ snow,” “ice,” and “bare tree”.  Spring definitely is here!  Cherry trees burst into bloom looking like  they are topped by clouds.  Delicate pure white and pink petals fill my sight; I am enveloped in a heavenly scent. 

The transience of the blossoms, their extreme beauty and quick death, connote youth, innocence and infatuation. The romance is fleeting- lasting not much longer than a week.

Countless flowers weighing down tree branches within people's reach. I stand in quiet enjoyment...afraid of interrupting this ephemeral beauty. 

In the cherry blossom’s shade, there’s no such thing as strangers! 34th annual Sakura Matsuri cherry blossom festival at Brooklyn Botanic Gardens.

                           

Happy Holidays!

Manhattan - Skyscrapers

Walking in the city, among countless skyscrapers, captured a few pictures. Excited to find more photo opportunities!

The reflection created an illusion

It is all about proportion

Pumpkin Cookies

T is well know by her baking skill. Last week, she brought us a box of pumpkin cookies. They are delicious. Before we realizing it, only 3 pieces left.

Passing by a lonely bick in the chilly winter, the empty basket makes me miss springtime...
