A New Year Unfolds

by The Philosophical Fish

Happy New Year, and welcome to my annual tradition. Every year I try to take a photo of a cherry blossom.

Here in Vancouver I amuse myself, and irritate my best friend, by showing how January 1st can often be considered spring 😉

Welcome to 2019 and may it unfold in a wondrous manner.

A very appealing tradition. My main photographic aim in January is to show that winter is beautiful. Your photo is a good example.

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/22308653@N07] I miss real winters; I get terribly sick of rain by this time of year. It’s only in very unusual circumstances that Vancouver sees much snow and/or cold weather in the winters, so yes, finding a flower helps me with knowing that better weather lies ahead …somewhere 🙂

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/mandywillard] 🙂 I cheat a bit on this one. There is this one tree that I can pretty much count on for having a few blossoms by now…..it grows above an underground parking lot and the building infrastructure presumably warms the roots and confuses it in the winter. I capitalize on that confusion.
