It's Cherry Blossom Time...

Some of you may have noticed that trees are finally starting to turn green and flower...including the cherry trees. While these trees, along with magnolias are scattered throughout the city, you can see an amazing...and diverse display of blossoms at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, near the Brooklyn Museum. Their website even has a CherryWatch Blossom Status Map.

I went this weekend and took photos, so here's a sneak peak of what you can see:
