These trees are covered with blossoms! Breath-taking.

Rumor says rain in a few days–but Rumor has been known to be wrong before and shall be again, no doubt. She likes to live on the edge like that.

I’m hoping the blossoms are spared a hail storm. Their vibrant burst of color reaches deeply, pushing me to forget everything but their intensity.

This photo doesn’t do the tree over Ike’s Quarter Cafe in Nevada City justice. Big tree! Thousands of blossoms!
