Shogetsu – end of season

Shogetsu cherry blossoms turning pink late in the season
Shogetsu cherry blossoms are turning pink, as they do when it’s the end of the season.

The green leaves have grown bigger. You can see the teeth on the edge of the leaves.

We’re approaching the end of the season for Shogetsu cherry trees in Vancouver. The petals are starting to fall and, soon, the blossoms will follow.

Shogetsu cherry blossoms are prettier when they are white, but if you find the right angle, you can still make pretty pictures of the blossoms turning pink.

Don’t leave your car parked under cherry trees

Cherry blossoms and leaves covering a car in Vancouver, BC

I always thought it would be fun to live in these cherry tree planted streets in Vancouver… except for cherry petals and leaves clinging to your car.  Oh well, better this than snow, I say.

Fallen but not forgotten

Fallen cherry blossoms and cherry leaves in a

While admiring cherry trees in their full autumn splendor last week, I was surprised by all the similarities between these two seasons in the life of a cherry tree: how the blossoms (in spring) and the leaves (in autumn) end up covering the sidewalk and the street. How beautiful it looks and also how deadly slippery the blossoms and leaves when wet.  (I don’t think I’ll ever forget slipping on a carpet of petals, two years ago, during a rainstorm, and almost breaking my leg).
