Every spring, something amazing happens on the UW campus: cherry blossoms. These thirty Yoshino cherry trees have graced the Quad since the sixties after being transplanted from the Arboretum. (I myself have graced the Quad since only 2003.) I don’t believe such a display can be seen anywhere else in Seattle, and each year crowds gather with cameras. I decided to take some pictures too, as the cherries seem particularly spectacular right now.

Nice pictures. I, too, snapped a few photos of this breathtaking event. http://csde.washington.edu/~djholman/cherry/
Love those pics, Nathan. This is proof that Seattle isn’t all rainy and gray… Hopefully we’ll get to witness these blooms for ourselves next spring. Sigh.
Oops, I divulged that best-kept secret about Seattle: the weather in spring/summer/autumn is awesome. Please don’t tell anyone!
