ALMOST...

I'm a little bit obsessed with the blossom season of the plum trees that line my street. In a couple of weeks time, we should be living in a world of candyfloss pink and walking on a carpet of petals, that look like pink snow and glow white in the dark.

I'm jealous of your plum trees. It's still snowing here.

There is nothing like a carpet of blossom petals! I wish that period could last for two months rather than just a few days. But I guess magic must be short-lived.

I love the blossoms too!
First plums and then cherry blossom too.
Even though the weather is still cold, I feel the blossoms are the start of Spring.

absolutely adore that you document these trees year after year -- there is nothing quite like the magic of floating blossoms . . .
