reflection on cherries

5: sitting in a cherry tree with one of my first friends, hands bloodied with red juice, fruit hanging from our ears, mouths filled with sweetness

7: solitude under a wild cherry tree, pink petals and green buds

11: wicker basket around my waist with hands full of blackened and over ripe fruit to make kirsch

15: listening to Juliette Greco's Les Temps de Cerises

20: biking through mountain roads coated in pink blossoms swirling in the breeze

25: Chicago cherries on the porch

32: Chapel de Luins surrounded in new blooms, looking over the lake of Geneva

34: Sakura Matsuri

37: my children in the sun on the kitchen floor eating cherries

40: cherry blossoms and letters...
