    Spring blossoms look like fairy tale. In our region snow has just melted, it's a about a month before tiny green leaves.

    Una autentica explosión de color es la floración de los cerezos que nos muestras. Espero que esos grandes árboles vivan unos cientos de años mas.

    Saludos.

    Beautiful photos, Ruma! I am so happy to have found you again! You and I followed each other's blogs years ago when I had a blog called Linda's Peaceful Place. I had no computer for 7 years, and because of the amount of time that had elapsed, I lost access to my old blog. I started a new blog at the end of March...Linda's Relaxing Lair. The link is in my profile. It's wonderful to have found you after so long, Ruma, and I hope you are doing well. I love your blog. Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada.
