Cherry Plum Blossoms

All the trees are braking out in blossoms, including my favorite cherry plum. It’s a prunus cerasifera ‘Nigra’ (as far as I can tell) which means that instead of green leaves it grows red-brown leaves which get darker with time until they turn almost black in late summer. You can see some of the young leaves if you look closely.

I took this picture during a lunch break, so the light was a bit harder than would have liked. But I adore its color and the light, springy (pun intended) feel of the image.
