I'm no botanist, but I'm pretty sure the "cherry blossoms" that spring up this time of year have nothing to do with cherries. I have yet to see actual cherries growing on trees in New York City. I may be missing them ,of course.
It is pretty damn cool to see the trees change from skinny brown to bright cherry-red to lean green over the course of two weeks. The way I see them, it's not so much that I'm looking at individual leaves -- that's hard -- but instead, especially in the breeze, one big moving organism.
I do like trees. And, to quote Lex Luthor, so does your average Cocker Spaniel. I also like Cocker Spaniels.
If we miss the point, the point's too small.
