Falling Blossoms

'Snow' Drift
Originally uploaded by firemind.

After Spring officially begins in late March the Cherry Blossoms begin to fall. Pink and white petals drift like snowflakes in the wind. They accumulate in ditches, lawns and everywhere else. As the trees become greener the ground takes on a temporary pink or white hue. Homeowners and other gardeners replay the fall leaf cleanup and sweep sidewalks and driveways.

The Cherry Blossoms are one of the reasons I love Victoria.

Spring flowers compete for resources in most cases. These ones, however, get along just fine.

This was taken with my new camera, a Digital Rebel XT, and boy do I love it.

Spring has been around for awhile, but today I was having so much fun with my camera I took the time to get some good shots of it.

I had to lay on the ground for this pic. I'm glad it turned out so well.

Spring has been in the air for awhile down here, but nevertheless, the flowers still are white.
