The Flickr Pinkblossoms Image Generatr

This was a few weeks ago ...and, now, the blossoms are gone. There were high winds and some pretty hard rain one or two days.... not that the blossoms last long anyway...

Don'tcha love my blue door? It's on the shed in the back yard. We painted our front door that colour and, then... bought a giant sun umbrella for the small patio in the back that is almost the same colour..... and decided to also do the shed door for fun. It's lovely to see in all the greenery back there.

When people walk past the front of the house and turn their heads to admire the front door... all of sudden they also see down the side of the house and notice the shed door.... several have even taken pictures and mentioned how much fun it is to see.

We like it.

I love the look of the blossoms against it.....

Thank you for your visits / comments / faves!

A cascade of soft pink blossoms, rendered into a dreamlike haze through painterly post-processing. Inspired by nature and interpreted through imagination, this image captures the quiet abundance of a flowering shrub—possibly California Buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum)—as it enters peak bloom. Each blossom whispers color into the air, blurring the line between realism and reverie.

Same day as sculptures, in the same park, but some of natures sculptures instead, all the buds are budding here right now and its so cool to see.

As Helsinki transitions from the chill of winter to the warmth of spring, Kaivopuisto Park becomes a canvas of renewal. In early May, cherry blossoms burst into delicate pink, coinciding with Vappu, Finland’s cherished May Day celebration. This period marks the unofficial start of spring, with Midsummer just 51 days away.

In this scene, students donning white caps (ylioppilaslakki) symbols of academic achievement stroll beneath the blooming trees. The juxtaposition of vibrant blossoms and traditional attire encapsulates the spirit of Vappu: a blend of youthful exuberance, cultural pride, and the joy of new beginnings.

Helsingin siirtyessä talven kylmyydestä kevään lämpöön, Kaivopuiston puisto herää eloon. Toukokuun alussa kirsikkapuut puhkeavat hennon vaaleanpunaisiksi kukiksi, samaan aikaan kun vietetään Vappua, Suomen rakastettua kevätjuhlaa. Tämä ajankohta merkitsee kevään epävirallista alkua, ja juhannukseen on enää 51 päivää.

Kuvassa opiskelijat valkoisissa ylioppilaslakeissaan kulkevat kukkivien puiden alla. Elinvoimaisten kukkien ja perinteisen asun yhdistelmä kiteyttää Vapun hengen: nuoruuden innon, kulttuurisen ylpeyden ja uusien alkujen ilon.
