Plethora of Petals

I live across from our little borough park and I often take note of the changing seasons by admiring views of the park from my bedroom window or front porch. I've been gone quite a bit in the past month and a half, and my absence has made me oblivious to the beauty that's been unfolding as spring made its slow approach.

This weekend I had to run to the post office, and the fastest way is through the park. I have missed the peak of flowers on the blossoming cherry trees, but I was greeted by showers of pink petals. It was lovely enough I had to slow down, take a few photos, and appreciate.

I'm not sure what the folding chair was meant for, but I used it to step up on and get a different view.

There are still plenty of flowers left, but what I enjoyed most were drifts of the petals everywhere.

Pink petals can even beautify dumpsters.

I showed my pictures to a friend and told told her how lovely my few minutes spent with Petals Galore were. 

She thought that Petals Galore sounded like a stripper's name, so Plethora of Petals it is!
