The laptop I used the most crashed…. sigh…. and my own fault that I had not backed up all the pictures, etc… I knew better… but I lost many pictures I was planning on using.  Hopefully, I learned my lesson though, and will back up my files more often now!

Cherry Blossom Festival in town… and the Cherry trees blooms are here …and beautiful! I’ll let them speak for themselves!

    Oh this is so pretty! I am waiting to go to DC to take pics of the cherry blossoms. Last weekend it was so busy. I am going to try to go during the week. I love the road with the trees on both sides.....so cool! Happy Easter, Joan

    Susan I am glad you were able to save some photos. Also reminding me to back up my photos too. I am so lax about doing that lately. I have never gone to Macon during the Cherry Blossom festival. I have a few amazing trees just outside my window that are in bloom now and I also wish that they would stay in bloom a little longer as they are so breath taking! Thanks for sharing your photos and one of these days I am going to get to Macon for the festival! Have a good holiday.

    Absolutely gorgeous! I have never seen that many in one place - in person. We're getting ready to plant three. I miss mine at our last house. So glad you posted.

    I hope you'll drop by AtticMag to see the butterflies I found.

    Nothing says spring is here like the cherry blossoms. People always love the snowy petals. Pink or white it doesn't matter they are just gorgeous.

    What an incredible sight! You have no idea the difference between that and the last couple of days here. It feel like we live in gray, mud world. I can't wait to see colors again. Thanks for the pick me up.

    Hi Susan, cherry blossoms are the most beautiful flowers and I love these photos. Thank you for sharing them today. My sister has a cherry tree and I am happy I can see them each year. One day I would love to go to Washington DC for the Cherry Blossom Festival.

    I am sorry about your computer crash. Sigh. I would be devastated.

    Happy Outdoor Weds.

    Your cherry blossom photos are glorious, one more beautiful than the next (although truthfully, you might want to include only the most super best of them instead of all the nice ones). I'm sorry you had to learn the hard way about backing up. Make it easy to do and do it OFTEN, like once a week or oftener. So we learn.

    Hi Susan, I love seeing the cherry blossom pictures -- can't get enough of a good thing. They are gorgeous; I especially like the one of the pathway toward a house -- with azalea also in bloom. Amazing! I want to be ON that pathway.

    I am SO looking forward to our shrubs and trees finally blossoming out this spring; so far only the forsythia is doing its duty.

    Happy OW! -- Cass

    I'm sorry about your laptop crash. The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago and I'm not quite sure what I have backed up and what I've lost just yet. Like you, I know better. It's not the first time a computer has crashed for me. You'd think I'd learn ...

    Beautiful Spring views here!!! Thanks so much for sharing and for hosting Outdoor Wednesday each week.
