It’s been a long winter on the the west coast this year.  More snow than we’ve seen in years, not to mention the rain, rain rain.  Earlier this week we had a rare bright spot, and lucky for us, the cherry blossoms were out too!  I took the opportunity to shoot the cherry blossom in Ma and Pa’s front yard – planted the same time my sister was born.  My friend was telling me that part of the reason why he loves cherry blossoms so much because they’re are so ephemeral – here for a few weeks and then poof!  Gone for another year.
