What it’s not…

…and what it is.

It’s not a picture from Washington, DC.
It is, though, a photo from our northern Virginia back garden.

It’s not one of the Japanese cherry trees celebrated this week the District.
It is, however, our very own ornamental cherry tree, which we’re taking pleasure in this spring.

    Oh, how lucky you are, Cheryl! Gorgeous. Make no mistake: There are NO trees flowering up in my neck of the world….

    So lovely! There was a very fragrant pink tree like that below my bedroom window when I was growing up. Nothing smells more like spring to me. Now, if only spring would arrive …

    What a gorgeous tree to have in your back garden–very envious! Our little dwarf cherries on the allotment have yet to do anything this year… K x

    Beautiful! The flowering fruit trees down here in So. Ga. didn’t bloom as lovely as they usually do. But the dogwoods went all out, for once!

    I was born on Andrews AFB and some of the earliest photos I have are of my mother carrying me under the famous cherry blossoms. Thank you for the wonderful reminder.
