A Ramble Amongst the Cherry Blossoms of the University of Washington, Spring, 2023

This one runs in ever shrinking circles on the University of Washington campus and ends in and amongst the cherry blossoms of the Quad. The cherry trees here are almost 90 years old and were transplanted from the Washington Park Arboretum in the 1960s. These days, the Cherry Blossom Festival attracts thousands to this lovely spot. Enjoy!
