    Exquisite image – delicate like powder pink tissue paper. This is absolutely delightful.

    Btw, I have just the photograph to go with this. Trouble is, I have so many I can’t find it yet! When I do find it, I will post the link.

    The personification in this piece is beautiful, Ryan. I can picture those cherry blossoms, reaching upwards to caress the moon. Arabesque is a perfect word to describe their movement. This is a dance one could spend the whole night watching. Beautiful!

      Thanks, Thomas. Well, it wasn’t the whole night…but I sat outside watching for a long time. Magic stuff at 3am 😉

        You are welcome, Ryan. There is something magical, indeed, about watching nature play. We should all take more time to do this 🙂

        I agree…although I’m sure my wife would say she wishes I would spend less time watching the grass and more time cutting it 😉

    Gorgeous writing style. Each syllable feels deeply considered. I’m tentatively re-connecting with WordPress after a long absence, heartening there is still work of such quality on here.
