There are whole streets lined in pink.


It’s just stunning.

    Thanks all! (And welcome Rainee!)The trees are flowering cherry trees. Very common around here – they love the climate and they look amazing! Hence the city has planted them on the entire length of lots of the streets in this part of town.

    HGG, there are some white cherry blossom trees around (mostly in the parks), but the pink ones are more common on the streets.Chall, I bet you have some gorgeous flowers down there though (and a longer growing season!).SM, I love it! It’s even better than the red and orange leaves in autumn, because it’s getting warmer and lighter! I am such a Spring person.

    Yeah, me too. It’s great when the first flowers start to poke through, but for me it’s really about the trees. They just look so fresh and new with their blossom and pale green leaves!
