Cherry blossom in Seattle
With the mild temperatures and the rain, Seattle got beautiful blooms to brighten up any gray spring day. The University of Washington is well known for its stunning array of cherry blossoms, which bloom at different times, though March tends to be perfect for enjoying their delicate flourishes.
We took a walk through the Queen Anne neighbourhood with some beautiful cherry blossoms in April. The attached images are of a flowering Japanese cherry tree (sato zakura) in Seattle, WA. The specific kind of this sato zakura is either a Kwanzan or Sekiyama flowering cherry tree.
Queen Anne neighbourhood is one of our favourite walks, with amazing view of downtown Seattle. In spring, this area blooms with cherry trees, daffodils, star magnolia and is a visual treat to the eyes.
