Cherry Blossom Tree, Branch Brook Park

Here we see cherry blossom trees that, while quite beautiful, have not reached their peak blossom stage in Branch Brook Park. If the weather is kind to us we should have a sea of white blossoms in time for the 2010 Cherry Blossom Festival, starting on April 10th. Now is a great time to visit the park as there are no crowds and you can enjoy a quiet walk that is actually . . . quiet. I will be adding more photos frequently as the Festival approaches and is underway. Bookmark us and return!

Beautiful Cherry Blossoms, Essex County Cherry Blossom Festival

There is something about strolling in a beautiful garden or park setting that settles the mind and brings joy to the heart. Our joy in life is made complete by nature. We could survive without it . . . perhaps . . . but life would not be nearly as meaningful nor pleasant. Being in Branch Brook Park among the beautiful blossoms is an elegant reminder of the enduring relationship we have with our Creator. I do hope to see you in the park in the coming days!
