A pink tree is happening!
Alert the newspapers, spring has been sighted! I saw these branches blooming in downtown Seattle a couple of days ago, while all else remains bare. As I circled the (cherry blossom? or flowering plum?) branch in full digital-camera-mode of taking LOTS to choose from later, a woman passerby said, “C’mon, spring!” and I couldn’t agree more.

How wonderful to see your picture with the beautiful blossoms.
Spring is around the corner in your area enjoy!!

“The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts
well out of proportion to their size.”
Just gorgeous. I love the background with the bare trees and how you captured the soft sunlight on the petals. Just lovely. Yes, spring is coming!
Hi Sara,
Wonderful flowers and lovely view!
Thanks for posting for TODAY’S FLOWERS.

Wow, I don’t think we even have these in Portland yet! Some other things blooming but not the trees. Maybe I’ll have to look more carefully. Beautiful photo!
You mentioned adjusting curves on my photos – I have not experimented with that and wondered about it, I’ve seen it mentioned. I have pretty basic P/S skills – I mostly use Paint Shop Pro 12 but also have Elements. Care to explain a little more about it? Or direct me to some more info? Thanks so much!

love that baby pink colors..great shot.
The earliest of early blossoms, the flowering plum, and such a pretty picture too.
Yes, indeed the very first sighting of cherry blossoms are very much treasured. after a long winter they are so welcome. I also love Almond and Peach blossoms. This is a beautiful picture with the pastel colours.
Blossoms already! Ahh..you live in a nice climate!..Always ahead of my world!
YES>>come on Spring!
Hello, thanks so much for visiting me today, very nice to have you. I love the idea of your blog to post photo as natural as possible. And I really like this pic, so beautiful one of the pink cherry blossom on branches, featuring the blue sky. Warm greeting from East Borneo! and oh..Cant you smell it? the spring is just around the corner.. ;p
I once was in Seattle in the beginning of March and saw these trees – they are beautiful!
Oh wow, that is such a beautiful photo of your cherry blossoms, and blooming so soon? I wonder, is this unusual for this time of year in Seattle. I have great memories of our visit to Seattle by the way, we were there several years ago. Just love that whole area. Loved the ferry rides. We took several of them.
Yes, spring is coming ! Can you please sent a little piece of it to Belgium 🙂
This is actually blooming now? OMGoodness! Thank GOD!!! I’m sooo ready for spring & your photo is beautiful!!!
how lovely!
I love what the passerby said!!
I wish!!!!! We are getting more snow today, and it will be May before we see blossoms like those!!!
I will simply have to live vicariously!! Keep up the good work!
