Break open a cherry tree
and there are no flowers,
but the spring breeze
brings forth myriad blossoms.

Stray Thoughts 
These buds have burst into life. Here, the burst are anxious to explode but the weather hasn’t been very warm.
It’s been up and down here. Two days after these photos we had snow. Snow!
*sigh*
Wow! So beautiful 🙂
Thanks! I couldn’t stop snapping…
I was in the Midwest over the weekend. Everything is popping color from all the hidden places.
re: the question – perhaps its only ornamental and will bear no fruit?
When Spring does come it is amazing.
ré: the tree – I hadn’t thought of that. I’m counting on the fruit to solve the puzzle!
