No, this is not the renowned cherry blossoms in Japan. 😊
Hello everyone!
Nature has an amazing way of captivating my heart with happiness even from the simple things - like a relaxing early morning walk. Like a happy kid who just unexpectedly received a box of chocolates or a new toy, I am so glad to share with you what I stumbled upon during an early morning walk on my way to church this weekend.
My Sunday morning usually starts with worshipping God and I prefer on walking my way to church. Aside from the big fact that the frugal blood that runs through my veins wanted to save money as much as I could (Lol), I also love to enjoy and savor the simple things I could only enjoy when I am walking. With the cold morning breeze that penetrates through my senses and wakes up the sleepyhead in me, I also love to witness how the sun's rays slowly break shatter the dim of dawn into a bright morning. But on that morning, God did not just let me enjoy those things, He even reminded me of how prolific is His goodness on me as He greeted me good morning with the lovely flowers I stumbled upon that day. Along the way, a lovely tree overwhelmed with flourishing pink flowers caught my attention. It's planted on the center island gutter of the parking lot that I usually walk across in the neighborhood where I belong.
In my country, which does not have a spring season, although some flowers are usually in full bloom every summer here, I still seldom see a tree that produces a full bloom of flowers. Its vibrant color has juxtaposed with the tree standing next to it. It was an astonishing scenery that made me have a closer look and stopped for a while and watched it in awe. It was indeed a beautiful site and I won't leave that slot until I had taken a beautiful snap of it.
Well, for some of you who have been following me here on Hive for quite a while now, I guess there's no need to explain further how huge is my fascination with flowers that it reflects on most of my floral artworks that I have previously shared on this platform. That's why standing right next to this tree and taking a closer look at its stunning bloom, for me is totally breathtaking. What a masterpiece nature has painted!
It sounds funny that I encounter this tree almost every day but I honestly don't know its name. And I was so amazed knowing and seeing that during summer, it could be in full bloom like this. It has beautiful light pink petals.
Its captivating delicate lovely petal has a bell-shaped look and those that are facing upwards are like a choir singing in joy.
The good vibes it has been spreading to the surrounding are quite contagious. I admit that I dream of going to places that experience the beauty of spring one day. And for me, seeing this beautiful flower bloom is the next best thing to experiencing spring and seeing the real cherry blossoms in Japan.
Have a happy #WednesdayWalk, everyone! I hope that something beautiful will stumble across your way, not just for today, but every day.
And just like these lovely flowers, no matter where we are planted, we may also flourish and bloom in our beautiful way. 🌸
