What a year for blossom trees!
Great clusters of pinkness!
That almost take your breath away
So delicate and yet so profuse
The darker pinks are a little more restrained
But happy to flirt with their showier neighbours!
I never tire of looking up
There are still a few delicate, restful whites around
And even a flash of black with the white!
Aren’t the little black ones simply gorgeous?
Just one more splash of colour!
I’ve gone a little blossom crazy because next week I go to Poland, and I know that when I come back they’ll mostly have vanished. Isn’t this the most beautiful time of year?
I won’t be posting 6WS next week, and I have just one more Monday walk to take before I’m gone. You can catch me there if you like, or even join in, if you have a walk you’d like to share.
Meantime, have a happy and colourful weekend, and don’t forget to visit Cate at Show My Face to post your Six word Saturday.

Thanks, Amanda 🙂 I thought it might be a bit boring, which is why the lambs stuck their noses in.

I thought after Washington mine might be a bit tame, Amy, but they really have been lovely this year. We had an absolute downpour overnight so they’re looking a bit battered but a bit of sun and they’ll be fine. Thank you- I’ll look forward to it 🙂

All the Spring flowers were really early and in profusion this year, Christine. Yes, I guess warmth and rain are a great combination if you’re a flower (and not too bad if you’re a human, come to that 🙂 )

Visiting North York Moor, so we see fewer sheeps than before – it’s a shame.
