Cherry blossoms and anticipation


Spring is weeks away but i'm anxiously anticipating its arrival. 
Today was a little bit of a preview. 
I walked out of the house shocked to find that I didn't actually need the second jacket I picked up on the way out.

You see, me and winter don't get along.
I can't stand the cold
and in winter I can never seem to keep warm.

The past couple of weeks the cherry blossoms have been blooming in my area,
for me this means one thing - Spring is coming! 

I adore cherry blossoms,
I love the variety of pink and purple hues
and the dainty little flowers
So of course I had to capture them :)

For me, spring means flowers, new life, warmer weather, lunch in the sunshine and colour! 

So tell me, 
what does spring mean for you? 
and what are you anticipating?

  1. I love cherry blossoms too! I drive past 2 when I go to work. And every day I say I must take a photo.

    Spring means summer is on it's way, pretty flowers and lots of sneezing!

  4. I don't think the warm weather is going to stick around :( But I'm sure hoping spring comes early! It was kinda weird being outside without a jacket though :P

  8. I love Spring and all the blossoms. We have more apple blossoms here than cherry blossoms, but they are as beautiful and so very fragrant. Where I live, the roads are lined with crab apple trees that bear the first blooms of Spring. We have the sides of the roads looking completely pink for a few days each Spring, followed by lilacs. Isn't it beautiful?
    Love your shot of the cherry blossom - I can see it on a lovely greeting card.
