One a Week: 24

Thank you to the former owner of my neighbor's house for planting this wonderful cherry blossom tree! This early bloomer was buzzing with bees before the petals drifted away. 

I can't help but wonder about the people who lived in my neighborhood who planted these trees and how it's like a part of them is still here, even though they are gone. My family and I planted a River Birch tree two years ago.  I hope it brings joy to whoever gets to see it in 50 years!

"Cherry Blossom" is a 5 x 7 inch watercolor painting.
