Cherry Blossoms Reflecting in the Water of a Nearby River
Windy Blossoms, Shanghai, 2014
In spring, the cherry blossoms are a symbol of transitoriness, as the cherry trees only bloom for a week or less every year, weather permitting. At the peak blossom, a mere breeze can blow off the cherry flowers. Like a water reflection, it is a moment of perfection that can be destroyed anytime.
