Time to Say Goodbye ...?

The cherry tree that blossoms next to our balcony has provided me with a wonderful project for the past three weeks. I have made daily photos, many more than one a day, and recorded the blooming and fading of these delicate pink flowers. I've had sunny days, cloudy days and rainy days - cloudy and rainy were the best for shooting.

Now there are very few blossoms left, all somewhat bedraggled, and only one or two within range of my lens. Today they were still worth photographing. And tomorrow?

I have posted the series in the gallery Pink Explosion, grouped in separate slide shows for week 1, week 2 and week 3. My tribute to spring.
