The above scene greeted me as I was leaving my garage on Sunday morning, and I knew I had to feature Washington Avenue’s cherry trees in a new posting — to show an autumnal echo of their brief April beauty. Below you’ll find a few shots of the cherry trees in front of 10 and 16 Washington Avenue and the lawn that separates the two buildings, here in the Schenectady Stockade. Then, I juxtapose Washington Avenue’s cherry trees as they appeared in April with their tawny-golden display earlier this week.

Hello, Kris, Thanks for taking the time to explore my site and let an old friend know you enjoyed it.
I’m glad you like the morning shots, but it’s still going to be an exception for me to get out at sunrise — especially without first having a large mug of strong coffee.

[…] Just a year ago, our Washington Ave. cherry blossom trees inspired the posting “not just an April infatuation” (October 30, 2009). We modestly suggest it is well worth another look. Possibly related […]
