Spring fall

A photo session on my very own doorstep. These are the few weeks when the trees on this west London street bulge deliciously under the weight of their own heady blossom. No sooner does it arrive, it starts to cascade from the branches, leaving a carpet of fragile petals all around – including by the front door. This was the moment to capture them before they wither under the sun or are washed away by a tide of April rain.

Nice photographs, Mike. That brief moment each year when we can catch the cherry blossom on film (if not on the trees!). :)

Indeed. I rather like the post-fall blossom :) I notice there’s plenty of other types still fresh and on the branch.

I love cherry blossom, magnolia and forsythia, but only for those two or three weeks in spring, when they’re in full bloom. After that, they’re just green and boring. :(

They concentrate their gorgeousness into a very short span!
