Our neighbour has a flowering cherry tree alongside the footpath. It has looked a picture for a few days now and with inclement weather upon us I was determined to get out and see what I could record with my camera before the elements bruised and battered the beauty too much.
The tree is simply a mass of flowers and the scent strong and sweet. A Tui was enjoying the nectar but gave me a merry chase and managed to stay mostly out of sight.
The Tui appears as a black object in the centre of this image.
The wind was blowing about and the light glarey but sometimes that can work.
It has been an excellent day for blogging, not so good for enjoying photography.

You and your camera have been busy today, capturing some wonderful images.
Thanks Ruth. I’ve had a backlog of posts and photos to blog. It has been a good day to do that with the weather being so cold and unpleasant.
You were brave to get out there and take this pictures. It’s bitter outside!
It was a very brief time outside today in the cold. This weather may see the best of the flowering cherry tree disappear quickly.
I love the first pic, Lyn! It is probably just me (again)! but I am having problems seeing your other ones, and in other recent posts too! : (
That Tree is just a picture at the moment. Just rechecked my blog and all the pics are there…..curious stuff. Your energy must be very powerful…..all jokes aside what a nuisance.
Haha, and I was attuned to reiki master last week! 🙂 Something to meditate on!
Well done on Reiki master. My energy and spiritual intuition really took off when I was initiated. Between the two of us we may be causing short-circuits!!!
I checked with my husband who read my latest blog posts at work today(!) and he reports all photos were present and correct!
