I took these photos while visiting the Brooklyn Botanical Garden when I was in New York last May. I was trying to be creative capturing images of statues and all the petals covering the ground, scattering on the tree branches. Only recently while looking for a few nice photos of the cherry blossoms, that I took a close look at these photos and for the first time, seeing a different "interpretation" of the photos, more than just the petals on the "body" of the tree or where the spraying water seems to come from the statue (in the first photo)! I could not elaborate further because I don't want to be accused of having a dirty mind. I invite you to tell me, based on your "imagination", what you see in these photos! 
New York is always on my mind and in my heart. When I heard on the news about the Cherry Blossom in Washington D.C., I immediately thought of my sister, CH and our time together at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden last May. According to the website http://www.gonyc.about.com/, "Cherry Blossom Season at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden lasts from April 3 - May 2, 2010. Hanami is the Japanese name for cherry-blossom viewing, and the Japanese have long-established customs surrounding this tradition, including picnicking under the boughs of cherry trees and trapping fallen petals in cups of sake. Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s peerless collection of cherry trees—-the largest and most diverse outside Japan—-creates a canopy of blossoms in the spring worthy of celebration."These photos were taken the day after a heavy rain came thru so there were more petals on the ground than on the trees. Also, it was the end of the festival so there was not a lot of people there. I was glad that neither CH nor I fell while walking around on the wet ground. The pathway looked pretty but it was muddy and slippery under all the pretty pink petals. We asked other visitors to take photos of us together and it sure was a nice day to be with my sister.
