Okay, here comes cherry overload, all in one fell swoop!
The tree that I featured a couple of days ago shown here from a different angle with its twin sister.

This time I took the photo because I wanted the person in it! I liked the way she appeared to be dwarfed by the tunnel of flowering trees.
Next post starts the cherry overload parade! And then? Well, then we'll be finished with the cherry trees and you'll all breathe a sign of relief. But don't get too complacent. The crabapple lane over at Skylands is about to pop.
The light coming through this magnificent cherry tree was what I was trying to capture. The people standing under it were not in my original plan but I waited a full ten minutes for them to get done with their "take my picture with the tree" business but they didn't budge. So, I took my photo and moved on to the other 3,997 trees in the park.
(Seriously, are you worried you will be seeing the other 3,997 trees here on the blog? Never fear, the cherry brigade will end soon. Some trees just needed to stand all by themselves.)

This huge old tree is right at the main parking lot and one of the most beautiful trees in the park in my opinion. Everyone wants to stand beneath it and gaze upwards at its lush blooms. They have their photo taken under it, or just take photos of it. It's impossible to get any "alone" time with it. I love its shadow almost as much as its limb span. Hello gorgeousness!

Yesterday I showed you things that were not yet blooming, so today I will show you what I saw that was blooming. This magnolia was superb! Grab a seat on the bench and drink it in!
These sweet little lavender-blue flowers that were dwarfed by the large tree they were growing under. I thought the light was interesting (and tricky) in this photo; part shade, part sun.
Gee, surprise, surprise — a daffodil. It was the only one of its kind blooming and it was just outside of the designated flower bed like it had escaped confinement. You go daff!
Mayapple. Love its freckled face!
