Cherry Blossom time in London

Spectacular cherry blossom outside Swiss Cottage library in N.W. London. This avenue of trees is in the little park right by the Jubilee line stop - no need to visit Japan!

Spring blossom in London

 The park at Swiss Cottage has been transformed into a dancing sea of blossom.

     So beautiful, yet transient - an icy wind is already turning the petals into confetti.

Although the park is in the middle of a city, it reminded me of this Van Gogh painting, done in Arles more than 120 years ago. But I suspect the weather there might have been warmer.
