Cherry Blossom peak bloom. And stunning.
I ventured out a 7 am to capture the beauty before the crowds (and I was not the only one!) These trees are a national treasure. #Breathtaking

Dit is toch adembenemend...

Before sunrise dozens of hot air balloons are preparing to start. A magical experience, definitely worth getting up before dawn.

Lori-Ann Speed is seriously brilliant. #Wow.
Her new album is #breathtaking. I listen and think - she is living her soul purpose, and how lucky am I that she shares it with us.

I've mentioned before how quickly the ecosystems can shift in this area, seeming to change completely between one step and the next.
I thought I had caught the perfect example of that on today's #hike, but apparently I can't upload a panorama. Here, instead, is the image cut in half.
One second you're in a deciduous forest, then you're in one of firs. Thirty seconds later, you're back.
Good evening Fediversistas! Busy day, rounded once more by ambles, with better sunset this evening. In other news, just catching up with #Breathtaking on the tellies, and must just mention #FuckTheTories.
Any mention by UK government that:'𝐒𝐮𝐧 𝟑 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 '𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧' 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝟒 𝐲𝐫𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐔𝐊'𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐃-𝟏𝟗 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡.'

This is #breathtaking too! @NHSEngland

#Breathtaking
Was sending elderly patients into care homes, without Covid status ascertained, a form of genocide?
Were decisions made the wrong ones?
Was the way that public messaging was handled by the government wrong? @covidinquiryuk @southwalesargus

COVID is NOT over, and it's a #breathtaking scandal that there’s little effort going into getting that fact across.
And, the future damage to our children, that could be caused by #LongCOVID, is a risk we shouldn't allow them to be exposed to. @blogpreston
