Happy #TreeTueday initiated by @Old-Guy-Photos!! Let's see your trees!!
Japan gifted 3000 cherry trees to the United States to enhance the friendship between the two countries. Of the original gift of 3000 Japanese cherry trees, there are still some left, although many were grafted to continue the lineage. You can see one of the older trees here.
If you want to read the story of the cherry trees and the Tidal Basin in Washington, DC, you can find it here

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
