Cherry Blossoms Falling Beautifully

Cherry Blossoms Falling Beautifully, originally uploaded by Gardener At Larrapin.

This was from a week or so ago - an ornamental cherry that drops its blossoms in sheets of pink. They are even lovely on the ground.

What was particularly funny (though impossible to photograph) was the sight of the young male roadrunner dashing about with a fat cherry blossom in his beak instead of his usual stick (he's building nests everywhere) or dead lizard!
