Cheery Cherry

Following a day of enforced sloth, caused by yesterday's bad weather, it was nice to be able to get out and about once again this morning.  We set off for Shipley Lake, the Woodside LNR and Osborne's Pond but on our way, we were impressed with the sight of one particular Cherry tree which was more covered in blossom than any of its neighbours.

There are many trees in flower at the moment, but none is better covered than this.  Indeed, it looked as if it were covered with snow.

On this day last year in fact, it would have been covered with snow as we were in the midst of an arctic spell of weather as you can see HERE.  A year later and it seems a bit silly complaining about one wet day, considering what it could be like.  One more picture of the Cheery Cherry - with a little 'bloom' added to the picture for a more 'artistic' quality.
