Cherry Blossoms

The cherry blossoms are blooming again. I realized that what makes them more stunning is that they come at a time when most of the other trees are either still brown and bare or are evergreens. And then you see these splashes of  pink or white clumps of pregnant flowers brightening up the otherwise dreary landscape. Nature's timing is so amazing. It really feels like watching a performance honed and mastered over thousands of years.
Sometimes I feel guilty taking pictures of it as it goes against the very essence of cherry blossoms which is that of impermanence. Human nature on the other hand, is that of wanting the good things to not change, to take pictures, lest we forget. How ironic...maybe we have not evolved and learned nature's ways yet.
