Our Japanese cherry blossoms are coming out in force, so many that can barely see the limbs on our trees in our backyard. Our trees are of the pink variety with darker centers. This image was taken of one of the many groupings that cover our trees and liked the light on this particular grouping. Cherry blossom trees are ornamental trees only and do not bear fruit. Cherry blossom are also closely related to other Prunus trees such as the almond, peach, plum and apricot and more distantly to apples, pears and roses. In Japan, cherry blossoms symbolize clouds due to their nature of blooming en masse, besides being an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life. In Washington, D.C. the cherry blossom trees continue to be a popular tourist attraction (and the subject of the annual National Cherry Blossom Festival) when they reach full bloom in early spring. I took this image with a Nikon Nikor 105mm macro lens and used some textures on this image to enhance their beauty.
