Cherry Blossom Phase Three - The Flowers - Colourfulphotography Contest Entry

in colourfulphotography •  7 years ago 

Although I skipped it last week when it comes to posting, I did take a picture to continue my cherry blossom follow up :)

So, this picture is showing phase three - the flowers. This was the most beautiful part of the cherry blossoming cycle. And the picture below caught it in the very beginning. Few days later it was almost impossible to recognise the exact same frame. The branches got heavier, bigger and changed the positions. Flowers got denser and even started to wrinkle. Only a few days after this picture was taken…

That was where the decay of the flowers started, and the pace of this happening is the reason for the cherry blossom being a metaphor of the ephemeral nature of life...

Let’s not end in a such negative tone :)
The next phase would be fruiting and we all know where that leads - to a plate full of fresh, juicy cherries…

I love the green grass contrasting below! Is this taken from a window?

Thanks :)
It's not a window. It's a wall just beside the tree..

Aha climbing walls now! Very adventurous ;)

You can actually walk to it from the other side... But I am adventurous usually :)

haha, got it!
