21st Ave's blossoms

Cliff Mass says this weekend is going to be gorgeous. Add sunshiny weather to the pillowy puffs of blossoming trees on the Hill and the equation becomes intoxicating. We dare you not to loll this weekend. My favorite stretch of blossoms is 21st Ave, just off Aloha across from Holy Names -- where this first picture was taken yesterday afternoon. The trees form a mini-canopy of pink as little swirls of breeze sprinkle petals on the sidewalks. It is about as pleasant as it gets.

There are many pleasant pockets of spring on the Hill. Here's a selection of images capturing some of them from the CHS flickr pool. Where are your favorite blossom streets on Capitol Hill? Leave a comment with an intersection or location and I'll whip up a map. If you're really fancy, you can add images in comments with a little HTML. Happy gorgeous weekend!

Just had a freaky thought...
...that many of these photos won't look much different in 100 years. I know I lost all kinds of poetry points for lamely pointing out the eternal beauty of nature, but still... spring flowers are still going to be pretty, long after we're gone.
