Some people see cherry blossom as a symbol of our fleeting lives

I wonder if they stop to look at all the other delights of Spring

before their fleeting lives pass.

Magnolia

Azalea

Some kind of violet, with it's face to the sky.

Christmas cactus

Many people I work with have grown up with the smell of lilac. The smell for me will be of spring in Asia (as long as I'm not standing near a lilac tree and a smoker!)

I don't know what this is but to me it looks like a fly with the wing speed of a hummingbird so I will call it a hummingfly.

With all the different flowers and trees and coming back to life, I'm glad that life has more than just snow like cherry blossom to look forward to.
