I went downtown to do some window shopping.
What I found was infinitely more precious:
PINK MUSIC


 The image


Music,
pink sonata,
that's what I will call it.
Listen as you stand admiring
a blossom canopy, dreaming  music,
ears tuned to pink, eyes listening
brightly, while the blossoms
play enchanted
music.

Just beautiful, Cristina! A "blossom canopy"! My daughter used to say she felt like a bride, walking under the apple blossoms in the orchard at bloom time. Thanks for the music!

Absolutely beautiful full blossomed flowers. To walk there must have been like heaven. Great photos and excellent verse as an accompaniment.
Cristina S. Apr 26, 2008, 6:40am EDT
Thank you all! Now I know these are "wild cherries," at least that is what folks around here call them.

JoAnne D. Apr 27, 2008, 9:21am EDT
This is gorgeous, who wouldn't love to take a walk under a pink canopy.
William Dotani Apr 27, 2008, 6:07pm EDT
Wild cherries tend to have the most beautiful blossoms. That's what sakuranoki are in Japan.

An essay in pink and set to pink music.
Cristina, this is sheer beauty. Bill has said something there. This is what Japan looks like when its Spring.
Is this wildkirsh? Your poetry just put the cherry on top of all the blossoms.
Teresa W. May 13, 2008, 3:33pm EDT
Beautiful, simply amazing
What wonderfully beautiful music. This brightened my day.
Cristina S. May 13, 2008, 4:18pm EDT
Yes Fred, Wildkirsche...

Thank you all - your loving comments touch my heart.
Glome . . . May 13, 2008, 8:32pm EDT
Christina, a rhapsody in pink!! I had seen a poem earlier today that spke of leaves blowing past the window ... & I was thinking about the part that 'temporariness' plays in beauty. That's the same way I feel in looking at all your pictures. They are precious and beautiful multiplied many times because they will be gone so quickly. It makes me want to cry. thanks for bringing them to us. It's the only way we'll get to see them.
A lovely poem and gorgeous photos - combined, this is stunning.
Georgiana S. May 14, 2008, 6:35pm EDT
The big Pink, Pink Floyd and now this!
Donzella Michele Malone May 15, 2008, 10:08am EDT
