The Beauty of Nature’s Leftovers

While everyone waits with great anticipation for the cherry blossoms to peak, there is a lot of disappointment when the blossoms begin to fall from the trees to be replaced with bright green leaves. But there is beauty everywhere in Nature, even in her leftovers. I watched as the strong spring wind blew through the cherry trees this weekend, and the result could have been mistaken for a snowstorm.
I find that seeing the fallen cherry blossoms cover the ground in light pink is one of the great beauties of spring. While the “peak” is gone, the leftovers are gorgeous.
