"A pollen tsunami...

Color my world pink...

"Pink"

...and white.

"The Earth laughs in flowers."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

And I am just glad to be outside soaking up the rays and the beauty.  Spring has done gone and sprung in Philly.  I LAUGH at the winter that was!  Hasta la vista to those cold and colorless days. Bring on the color.  Achoo!

"Strolling Amidst the Magnolias"

"Color My World"

"Love is like cherry blossoms.

It blooms at the first promise of spring,

it beautifies even the most gray landscape,

and scatters at the first gust of wind...

but as they hold,

when you look at them,

you steal a little view of paradise."

-Georgia Kakalopoulou

"Cherry Boughs"

"Under the Canopy"

"Blinding White"

Truth is, the pink and white of these boughs have come and gone in just a few short and glorious weeks.  Now?  We have morphed into a pollen tsunami.   Achoo!

"Strolling in the Fountain"
Fairmount Park
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The pink and whites of the cherry and magnolia trees have given way to the blooms of the azaleas and rhododendron.  The pollen tsunami rages on.  And so does Spring until it steps aside for summer.  But until the dreaded "hazy, hot and humids" flex their muscles and take control of Philly...it sure is beautiful here in the City of Brotherly Love...achoo!
