I love finding cherry blossom trees. I love how they pop against the quintessential dutch landscape and nestle in pretty much anywhere. They just feel ethereal and ancient yet never out of place.
On a long bike ride with friends on a Sunny Spring Sunday, we spotted some blooms and I had to stop to take some pictures.
It wouldn’t do justice if I didn’t mention Magnolias, which were blooming just as vibrantly!
Spring is here, which means, the cherry blossoms trees, all around the country are blooming in pink. The fact that the sight lasts only a couple of weeks, later returning to green, makes it even more mesmerising to sit under one and watch the world go by. Its one of the few things that make me realise how far away I am from home, and how far away my life has come, for until an year ago I had never seen such a tree in my life.
