Blossoming

I stopped by the Shoreline Library for the first time in a few weeks and discovered that the little cherry tree I have blipped has now dropped its blossoms.  Fortunately, the neighboring tree, of a slightly later-blooming variety, was in full bloom.  Since it's taller, I had to shoot up from under to get this shot - it was such a glary gray day that I wasn't sure it would be good enough to blip.

Minkelina is now twelve years old, and she's lived with me for 11-1/2 of those years.  She still delights me and becomes more and more affectionate - making up for all those years when she wouldn't sit on my lap.  She turned out to be a good choice, despite our early difficulties.
