Stately Cherries

We went down to Branch Brook Park in Newark on Friday afternoon. The weather was “supposed” to be mostly sunny, but of course, but the time we got there it was more like mostly cloudy. It always seems to be this way when we go! So, photo opportunities are somewhat challenging. Over the next few days I will be bringing you my favorites.

These stately trees are right next to the parking lot and always gather a fan club around and underneath them. I think you can see why.

A blog friend, Reya, who lives in Washington D. C. which is famous for their cherry blossoms refers to their charisma as “Cherrapy.” I love this phrase! And perhaps the reason why so many people just stand underneath them and drink in the beautiful blossoms as therapy.

Just look at the size of this tree compared with the person underneath it!

Beautiful!  It’s amazing how some of the trees just popped flowers over night!
