Easter sunshine gave a boost to our cherry blossom arrays in the Stockade yesterday (April 20), I am pleased to say.  They may not be the most bountiful displays ever on and around my block, but they are definitely lovely and able to motivate lovers of beauty and romance, as well as cranky photographers, to come out to take a look. Magnolias were also becoming quite becoming.

I’ll be adding more this morning and heading out later today to see what popped out since my first blossom stroll yesterday.

. . I’m a lucky man. The above photo shows the view out my front door yesterday, April 22, Earth Day. Beauty, blueskies and a gem of a neighborhood help me to forget about aches or complaints about local or national politics, and to count my blessings, one of which is being able to share my pleasure thanks to my camera and websites.
