For distorte, my AOCBPs* for 2013.
Yoshino cherry (Prunus yedoensis), in Portsmouth, Virginia. Please click any photo in the set for enlarged views.
I wish I had a way to convey the fragrance of these blossoms. In the morning, when the air is very still, they smell vaguely like Jordan almonds. But they hold their scent very lightly. It vanishes in the slightest breeze.
*Annual Obligatory Cherry Blossom Photos. At least they aren’t photos of kittens.
