Diane Dehler said...: Thanks, daydream and glad that you stopped by. I wasn't sure what kind of trees they were and glad that I know now. They are growing in Northern California.; 12:55 AM
Harry Markov said...: Well they seem like the Japanese charry blossoms or at least close to them. I am not very good at botany, even though I would want to be.; 6:15 AM
Bobby D. said...: They are gorgeous--love the circle/halo in the center pic. we could ask Dan the Tree Man... he would know.

They look edible! spring is so pretty!; 9:39 AM
Anonymous said...: how lovely your trees as they bloom fragrant cherry blossoms .... and like snow they fall when they have completed their journey -

remember Memoirs of a Geisha ??

I have downloaded the discourse on truth and beauty to read later when I am more focused ...

I always find beauty and a stretching of my mind when I visit the princess!

Ahhh... I see you have taken your ghostly carriage out for a Sunday drive- enjoy ...

fondly,

White Rose said...: Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
On Meadow-hills and dale,
As far as you can see.
Is it a mist, or clouds?
Fragrant in the morning sun.
Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
Flowers in full bloom.

Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
Across the Spring sky,
As far as you can see.
Is it a mist, or clouds?
Fragrant in the air.
Come now, come,
Let’s look, at last!

~Japanese folk song~

These Photos are lovely!; 10:32 PM

The article itself is a fascinating one (although it challenges me to employ my brain in ways I have let lie dormant for too many years).

I will need to read, and re-read it, several more times, but what I tentatively like about it is how it supports one aspect (there are many) of the spirit of your blog: like Sikka says about Heidegger, you "reopen the possibility of interpreting beauty in terms of revelation, while being neither naive nor sentimental."

Thanks for pushing the frontiers of my intelligence - please be sure to pass along other challenges!; 3:55 PM
