It's hard to believe how much has grown, opened up, fallen apart and blown away already. Today seems to be whirlybird day. There are many on the wind, flying away from their home trees, landing far away and in places one wouldn't expect. Daffodils are gone now, tulips are mostly gone, the magnolias have fluttered their petals away. The lilacs are nearly spent.

Blossoms of cherry and apple and have showered the ground beneath them with the "snow of spring" of white and pink that floats down and covers the ground, sidewalk, and roadside curbs. In a short while it all shrivels and blows away and is gone until next year.
