Like Clouds Floating in the Sky

Pink blossoms abound 
Like clouds floating in the sky 
Dreams of Kosokuji
     - D. Besozzi

The Crabapple tree (Mrs. Krabappel) reached full bloom this weekend. I was very happy to see it come to full life and start another season.


Not only is the tree beautiful, but I am very satisfied with the placement of the tree. It does much to hide the large Oak in the background and the unsightly telephone pole.


The blossoms are really spectacular when viewed up close, and there are so many!


It was a real joy to see and I made sure to photographically document the bloom. I knew that this beauty would not last. The cycle of life and rebirth must go on. Like every moment of life, this joy would be fleeting. Fortunately, the blooming flowers lasted a solid 48 hours before the arrival of torrential rains that scattered the blossoms about.


Raindrops from the sky
Blossoms gently fall downward
I return to work
