A very special Composition...

Have you ever seen magnolia and pink cherry trees blooming side by side? Here in Munich it was an unusual view this year. Normally these trees don't bloom at the same time. So this sight was truly devine. And as usual it was gone much too quickly. But at least I have the images for you to enjoy...

An amazing Composition...

This year I was lucky to photograph this lovely compostion of two different cherry blossoms. Normaly you either find the light one OR the dark ones but rarely 2 of them together in one picture...

More pink fluffy Balls...

I truly hope that I do not bore you with just some more of these wonderful, amazing fluffy blossom balls. Each year I am standing there in awe, wondering how this is possible, this incredible burst of new life after the hiatus of a long long winter with nearly no colours, with that awfully cold and wet weather and days where you do not see the sun. I very much hope that you can share all that enthusiasm with me because this is what life is all about - the wonders of our nature, our beautiful planet.

It is not the kick you might experience through skydiving or bunjee jumping, go on a race with a racing car or any other of these activities. It is not the kick you get through taking drugs or filling you up with any buzz, it is not spending your nights in bars and clubs or travelling through the world as far away as possible. It is not the most extravagant house you can own or being part of renown societies.

Life is where possessions and desires end, life is where things grow on their own, where you need not do anything about it. Life is where you experience the smallest and the largest of all things, life is where you discover the universe within yourself and where happiness is unconditional.

Now imagine a world without all these blooms and blossoms, without the happy chirping of all the birds that can be heard right now. What a world would that be?

The Alley of the Cherries...

I am photographing this alley each year and each year it is different. Sometimes the blossoms are rather small and hang in small groups from the branches and sometimes they are thick, fluffy and seem to be much too heavy for the branches just as this year. A majestic view, a miracle of Mother Nature...

More Balls but in Pink...

This time I have balls in pink to offer (not what you are thinking!). This year the cherry trees were exceptionally loaded with blossoms so that the branches seemed too fragile to carry their load...

Blossoms like Snowballs....

These cherry blossoms look really funny - they remind me of snowballs which is crazy of course but somehow looking at these makes me smile. And I like them much more than snowballs!!

Cherry Blossoms in rosé...

This very light pink cherry tree you won't see too often in our area. It growing form is different from all other cherry trees - somehow it reminds me of a poplar.

These Blossoms are gone but....

We have to be patient and have to wait another 11 months!!! But there will be other delights - the summer flowers are waiting for us...

Cherries in pink and white on ONE Tree

A lovely combination - but these are growing on one tree - no joke!!! Apparently a pink cherry tree has been engrafted on a white one - you could see the place where it had been done...

Blossoms in elegant light pink

I am not sure whether these are cherries too - never mind. I have given up in the meanwhile to identify them all. The blossoms are beautiful despite any doubt....
