Cherry Blossom Rebirth

Cherry Blossom Rebirth

This photo reveals the colors and textures of tiny buds given birth on a mature cherry blossom tree in Branch Brook Park, Belleville, NJ. Granted it is not a great photo, but it does capture a very charming subject! Soft, overcast light reveals a delightful palette of colors in the bark of this mature cherry blossom tree, which are repeated and complimented in the colors of the emerging buds. The superb design evident in living things around us seems perfectly matched to the aesthetic yearnings of man. Could that happen by chance? Or, does it give evidence of a Designer or Creator behind it all?

The heavens are declaring the glory of God; And of the work of his hands the expanse is telling. One day after another day causes speech to bubble forth, And one night after another night shows forth knowledge. . . -Psalm 19:1-2
