Washington DC is famous for its Cherry Blossom Trees which people from all over travel to see when they are in bloom. Yesterday a friend told me about a park located in Newark, New Jersey that is noted for having the largest collection of cherry blossom trees in the United States. The park contains 4,300 trees in more than fourteen different varieties compared to the 1700 in Washington DC. Seeing as Newark is a close drive from where we live, we packed a lunch, jumped in the car and set off to see these beautiful trees.
The trails in the park wind on endlessly and we walked for over an hour following the many paths. The weather here is still a bit chilly, but when the sun appeared from behind the clouds it shed a welcome warmth and kept us going.

We arrived in Virginia just in time to enjoy the fullness of this beautiful sight. It is interesting to see the tress alive in full color in the four seasons.

well someone told me also about the New Jersey’s blossoms – and I replied that I was not surprised because ever since I saw the :garden state” on their license plates I always knew they were much more than interstate exits. 🙂 and your photos do them justice – the one of you with the drooping ones is so good – and I also really love the one you chose for your header –
