Oak trees wear spring green again
Cherry branches don pink hats
Butterflies flutter wings in wind
Daisies play brides in wedding dress

Almost all my photos come from Microsoft Office from their clip art collection for Microsoft Windows Office users. All four of these came from there. I checked each photo for you to see what each one said. Sometimes they will say what country or city, but these did not tell me where they were taken. Truly they are lovely. I’m sure Microsoft finds the best to offer their customers. Thank you for your comment, Patti. I wish I could take such lovely photos myself. Blessings to you…

Thank you for stopping by, ladynimue. I appreciate your comment. I, too, love cherry blossoms. We used to have five cherry trees. They are beautiful trees, and their fruit is special. I made cherry jam with most of them. We ate a lot of cherry jam, and also gave away lots of cherries to anyone that would pick them. Blessings to you…
