Such beautiful blossoms. The scent must be heavenly.

Some scent, but actually not all that strong. It’s mostly a visual experience. They must have picked scent-deficient trees so as not to intoxicate New Yorkers… :-)

There was a snowstorm here in Missouri last May that cancelled a baseball game by the Kansas City Royals. Hopefully, that won’t be repeated this year. We didn’t do too badly with snow this year, but the cold was abysmal.

A couple of autumns ago we were in the city and I strolled through Central Park, photographing the buildings and foliage along the Ave as I walked. It is one of my favorite walks in the city, and always results in fine photos. Thanks for the memories!

Fruit trees of various kinds. There’s a week in April—now almost over—when they all bloom simultaneously, so some of the streets are absolutely swathed in white. After a week it’s all over…
