Finally in Bloom

Every year I visit this place. This year at sunrise, I walk three miles and contemplate; all of these cherry blossoms are similar yet different. I look behind me and crowds of people do the same.

What is it with flowers that fascinate us the most?

Maybe these photos speak of an answer.

We have had such labile weather these past weeks, but somehow the blossoms made it.
Maybe, we are fascinated by resilience.
These fragile blossoms fought their way to bloom.

Maybe, we should too.
