I went to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden this morning for the cherry blossoms.

Unfortunately, a lot of others had same idea so it was hard to take a picture without a million people in it. I tried for about an hour before giving up and deciding to just enjoy the flowers with my eyes.

On my way to meeting a friend, I passed by the entrance to Prospect Park and saw the most beautiful trio of cherry blossom trees. Plus there were only a few people around.

I guess that’s kind of like how life is sometimes. You can plan and force things all you want, but sometimes something amazing is around the corner if you’d just stop and relax for a second.
