Cherry Blossoms

On the same day as last year, 4/22, I went to the Chicago Botanic Garden. Lauren came too! Spring came later this year. We could see the early bloomers more. A perfect early spring day . . .










Early cherry blossoms





And plum



Blooms!






Discipline






A Japanese legend says that zig zag bridges can't be crossed by evil spirits. It works! There was not one single demon on the entire island.








A very young jogger




Patiently waiting for his owner to return?


I'm sure he'll find home.
