Right about where I live the lovely cherry blossem trees are out in full bloom. Sinse I live around here and I just love it when these trees bloom I thought I'd share these natural treasures with you guys. I don't know whether any of you have seen a cherry blossem tree or not but their very lovely. Around here they are very common and it's hard not to find one in any area. Also in the middle of the city where I live is the lovely Lake Anna. I went and took these pictures myself so their not the best quality but enjoy anyhow.

This is Lake Anna. Unfortunatly because it's rather wide, to get a full picture of it I'd have to risk getting hit by a car.

I love it when it shimmers like this.

One of the pathways in the park. Later in the year it will be a sea of peatals.

One of the very loevly trees around here. Okay, so I actually have no idea what kind of trees these are, but everyone around here calls 'em cherry blossem trees so that's what I'm going to refere to them as.

A close up of that tree. There are thousands of these on one tree.

Sea of petals. Makes me want to lie down and just take a pleasent nap. Then again I'm sure the locals would mess with me there though.

This is my proof I took these. See! I really don't live in a cave!

Posted Image

This is actually some of the best trees here.

This is our WWII, Veitnam, Iraq, future wars memorial. Can you believ all these names are just from people from here!

This is a 'tank' (What we as children called it as we played on it) that was set in the park. They moved it recently though because it used to aim at...

Posted Image

...this church. The people there got pissed that a canon was facing at them after a while. As a kid we used to pretend we were blowing it up! :lol:

I just love this time of year.

BURN THE FLOWERS
Malia Weinhagen talking about her father Dave Arneson
 

"The biggest thing about my dad's world is he wanted people to have fun in life," Weinhagen said. "I think we get distracted by the everyday things you have to do in life and we forget to enjoy life and have fun.

"But my dad never did," she said. "He just wanted people to have fun."

Don't worry, if the Bison ever take over the midlands Godzilla will take care of them. Just like he did with Bambi.

Maybe some of need that meaningless smile.

Maybe it's the only way we can carry on.

Maybe we don't have any smiles left that arn't meaningless.

Maybe you should shut the hell up.

Gotcha goth and/or Emo kid.

Okay, maybe you don't like the happy stuff, that's no reason to rag on other for liking it.

That looks cool, too bad I don't live there, I bet it will be swamped with tourists soon, because those trees live for a short time and the flowers disappear afterwards.

Most of our cherry blossom/ ornamental plum trees have already lost thier petals.

It was a pretty couple of weeks, though.

Oi, tourists. I hate tourists. It's even worse during the cherry blossem festival, fourth of july fireworks, and even worse the christmas lights walk around.
