With some time to spare between errands and a looming naptime, Bergen and I decided to make a quick stop at the University of Washington Quad to view the amazing display of cherry blossoms. These blooms put on quite a show every spring, but after living here in Seattle for almost 8 years, this was actually my first time (and Bergen’s) witnessing the event. Sure I see the trees on our walks in the neighborhood, and other areas around town. Now I know though: The Cherry Blossoms in the Quad are different. It’s really an experience! And the beauty took my breath away.
Bergen loved running around on the brick pathways. He had a huge smile on his face the entire time, and I think he quite enjoyed all the people running around snapping photos and making a fuss.
However, he really didn’t care much about looking up, so the cherry blossom display didn’t really matter to him. He had other interests. What’s so great about a few cherry blossoms? He’d rather investigate a puddle.
Where in the world have you witnessed a spectacular Cherry Blossom display? Tell us about it!

Beautiful pictures! Me and my friend just featured the cherry blossoms on our blog after exploring the UW quad (http://deuxdilettantes.com/2013/03/29/university-of-washington-yoshino-cherry-trees/). It’s definitely a must-do! I’m glad you and your little enjoyed it, and it seems like you had some good weather.

we have gorgeous cherry blossoms here in Brookly, but I admit these are pretty impressive.
