Cherry Blossoms - pink floral photography print - flower still life - wall art by Nadia Culph

' I went down to mingle my breath with the breath of the cherry blossoms.

There were photographers: Mothers arranging their children against gnarled old trees;

a couple, hugging, asks a passerby to snap them like that, so that their love will always be caught between two friendships: ours & the friendship of the cherry trees.

Oh Cherry, why can’t my poems be as beautiful?

A young woman in a fur-trimmed coat sets a card table with linens, candles, a picnic basket & wine. A father tips a boy’s wheelchair back so he can gaze up at a branched heaven.

All around us the blossoms flurry down whispering,

Be patient you have an ancient beauty.

Be patient, you have an ancient beauty. ' - Toi Derricotte, 2011.

I love this time of year when the first signs of Spring are emerging from their Wintery sleep.  A macro photography still life of beautiful pastel pink Cherry Blossoms.
