I ♥ Blossoms

I love walking down the street to see blossoms popping up everywhere, I love their gorgeous pink and white hues, I love that they make everything look so dainty, I love how they dance in the wind, I love how they seem to glow under a gorgeous blue sky and I love that spring is nearly here.How about you?

    Nature's work of art! Sadly, it's too warm in Sydney for them but our old street in London had them...just beautiful and I love seeing them here!

    Yes! Am currently loving the blossoms too. We have white blossoms on my daughter's plum tree and pink on the neighbour's peach tree (which hangs over our fence! Yay for us!!) Nice post.

    I love cherry blossoms. They make me sentimental about Spring in Belfast growing up. Lovely!

    I have them in my garden and every year I want to pick them...but then I would have no fruit! So outside a go and just love them. Nature on your doorstep is a magical thing!!
