the feeling that you have somehow played a role in the development of such beauty

Now that we have concluded show and tell on the magnolia trees and the forsythia bushes, lets move along to the cherry trees shall we?

These are not the showy specimens that can be found in some parts at this time of year, but I'll take 'em.  Because they are right here, where I can appreciate them in person.

All the photos above were from a park in downtown Lawrence. But below, well that's a special tree.

Because it lives in our front yard.

And I happen to be partial to it.  

You who garden understand this concept.

The feeling that you have somehow played a role in the development of such beauty, through your care and tending.
