Cherry Blossoms at Branch Brook Park

Wake up Cherry Blossoms
We long for you
Please show us
Your beauty and charm
See?
The children are running around,
Beside and underneath you
Seeing you come out in spring
It is a happy time

John and I went to Branch Brook last Sunday, April 7th, to observe the Cherry Blossoms blooms. Some of the small cherry trees are blooming with beautiful pink and red flowers. But most of the mature cherry trees are still in bud formation. John would like to have his pottery students, who are also our friends, join us for a picnic and enjoy cherry blossoms on Sunday, April 15th. After we saw the cherry blossoms around the park, John and I agreed that Sunday, April 21st will be the best time for most of the blossoming trees to be in full bloom. It will be the ideal occasion for us to get together with our friends. I took photos of some areas of the park. Some people came with children to enjoy the warm day and fresh air.
Spring Everywhere in the World
Walking and talking
Holding hands in the park
Enjoy the warm day
Away from the winter past
Spring comes
We are happy to be together
No war
No fighting
How nice it could be
If the troubled world could see us
And join hands with us
Please come
To celebrate the spring
It is a better and happy way
Joining hands in the park

Immigrants
Little ducks and big geese swimming in a pond
Where do you come from?
Don’t worry, wherever you come from
We welcome you
And glad to see you
Healthy and strong
You contribute your beauty to the pond
We all come from somewhere
As long as we are in harmony with nature
We add beauty to society as a whole

Happiness in Return
Time to come out
To catch the beauty of nature
Snap here, Snap there
Oh you gorgeous flowers
If I can give pleasure to others
As I receive from you now
My life will be worthwhile
Even though your blossoms live a short life
Your beauty lasts long
By capturing your beauty
For others to see
I glimpse of their happiness
That is all I am longing for
