Turn your eyes upward, in the direction of heaven. Behold! An almost hidden treasure. Things that we see at the at Tidal Basin., Washington, DC
The beauty of spring never fails to awe me. Breathe deeply. The beginning of life, unfolding, right before my very eyes to see. I sigh. Knowing what a wonderful world we live in. Despite our troubles of the day, stop where you are, take a moment to breathe. Look all around. What do you see? Probably those you love the most. The one that makes up the you, in us, the one that was made for me.
Some days
The drifting of my thoughts
Far and away
Begin and end with you
The opening show had been slow to start, but, the dance of the cherry blossom is a performance that is not to be missed. There is magic in the air today, as the delectable blossoms sway to beat of their own music. They have reached the stage of perfection. In cherry blossom speak, they are officially at peak beauty.
The beauty of nature, ever-changing...It is like having an unfinished symphony inside our hearts. Every moment inspired by the beauty of nature completes another bar of the music. Incomplete on any given day, for even the smallest of changes, can be made.
Yet, on this day, the full orchestra is playing.
When you finally come into full bloom, you will live with your heart wide open, the fragrance of love and joy, sharing and caring drifting all the way through to the next part of life. Those words are written on the edges of my soul, spilling happiness all over my sense of well-being. Life is good and I cannot help but smile at the thought of it.
Today is a #BeautifulSunday by @Ace108, where we share our day in the most possibly beautiful way that we can. I find myself home at the end of the day, breathing in the beauty of it all, a definite #SublimeSunday in the making, by the Meister of my morning, @c0ff33a. I do love my @c0ff33 and he likes eclectic! A definite match made in my heaven.
And just like that, this post is done. The day is done and can we just start it all over again? I want to thank @ace108 and @c0ff33a for hosting these challenges and just so you know, even though it has been a day, I can guarantee that there is still a little sunshine left in my heart. Have a most fabulous rest of your day!
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
warsan shire
Lovely cherry blossoms! Our trees are almost finished now, although I notice that some are later than others. My street is a little behind and the tree in my yard is probably the slowest one of all.

I have cherry trees in my yard that I planted and I purposely planted several different kinds, some early bloomers, and some very late bloomers. I suspect that is what you have.
I'm so glad you like them. I wanted to ask, how do you like Hive? I am still going back and forth on both, eventually, I will move it all over here. So many still stayed there and my challenges make more over there.
How odd. Oh, well. It's not all about the money, is it? Thanks for stopping by and saying hello, leaving your words!

Hi Denise, I feel very certain that this is the place to be. As you know, I haven't been very active on Steem but now I will be more active on Hive. I'm powering down on Steem and will not be posting there at all. I'm gathering up all the bits and pieces of my vast crypto empire to invest in hive. That means my Steem, EOS, BAT and about $14 I have in my Paypal! :-)
Wow! Most excellent! I have to admit, you have more cajones than I do! I am there, but, I left a little steem for those that are staying behind. I will probably shut down in a couple of weeks though.
I'm not exactly risking a fortune. :-)
LOL

Such beautiful looking photos I love the blossoms and glad I saw this post

Thanks. Things are a little off right now, trying to keep track of who, what, where and how.
Le sigh.
That and my $1.00 post. :) Oh, to start at the bottom again and again. We can do this! :)

Ohh yeah its so crazy at the moment trying to remember who posted where, I am leaning towards moving fully to hiver at the moment, I had thought [posting on both, but thats crazy to keep up with and I think slowly most of the apps wil;l be moving to Hive, but I could be wrong, not givign up on Steem completly but may not post there as much, but that said I am taking a break till Wednesday
I agree. You should take a break. This is crazy and I think I am going to pull out completely, but needed to wait a little bit as there were more than I realized that didn't move yet.
Le sigh.
Yeah I have to admit I was so tempted to just switch off completely and give it all a break, but I feel I have to at the least keep the Wednesday Walk going and people seem to enjoy it
So I will take it easy and play it by ear moving forward :)
We love our WednesdayWalk!

Must smell sweet with the wind blowing your way ...😄
The scent of some of them is beautiful. others have no smell at all. This is what I have read on Google to bring out the smell of the sakura blossoms: For a genuine whiff of the cherry blossom scent, pour hot water over the flower. The rising steam carries an elegant and sweet aroma, which is the natural scent of sakura.
Anyway, the spring has such a sweet smell. Yes! I hope you are doing well!!!
Have a great Monday!

Hello Beautiful
I love to see those flowers especially because we will miss the spring, but it is what we have to do to kill the virus, stay home
i love you
Take care
Hola hermoso. Extraño la forma en que solía ser la vida. Estas flores están camino a casa desde el trabajo. No salgo en público si no tengo que hacerlo. Necesitamos mantener distancias sociales adecuadas de todos. Quizás el año que viene sea mejor. Te amo mi amigo. Cuídate mucho y cuida a tu hombre maravilloso.
Besos.

Beautiful my dear lady!!
Thank you! You are so sweet, Deb! You are not working, right? You are home, home, home on the range, right? I think I read that you are and now I will have to go stalk your page and see if what I said is right. :)
Despite the world and it's problems right now, spring paid no mind and is beautiful despite itself.
Stay safe!

I am safe at home and I hope you are too. <3

Hey D,
No need now for me to ever visit DC, I am sure that you showed us the best it has to offer just in this one post.
Thanks Sweetie,
Sult
Hehe! Oh, they get much better than that, so you still need to come! :)
Maybe next year, this year is a little germy. I hope you and yours are doing well!!! Love to you from DC

It feels like I am listening to music instead of reading . Such profound feelings these words elicit.
The joy of love and being loved. And the younger lovers might even change the first two words to "Everyday" to show how deep and intense the feeling is.
And the photos are lovely. I think they added to the music. Thanks for sharing.
