Mum planted a beautiful Japanese spreading cherry tree some 40 years ago and each year at this time it is covered in beautiful double white flowers.
The variety is Prunus Shirotae, also known as Mount Fuji, presumably for its resemblance to the snowy cap of that famous mountain.
When the sun was out today and the sky was blue it seemed a good time to photograph the blossom and the spread of the tree in detail from underneath.
It is truly at 'peak bloom' at the moment.
Beautiful pictures. What a shame these blossoms don't last for longer. Would we get bored with them? I don't think so!
