Cherry blossoms up close and personal

Taken at the park area near the Capitol in the below/previous picture. Tim managed to avoid the heavy wind blowing the cherry blossoms all over the place by photographing higher-up blossoms closer to the branch.

The petals appear crisp and luminous, their soft pink tones gently layered against a calm backdrop, sheltered from the restless wind....V
