Pagan Eye: Standing Under a Blossom Tree in my Road


This tree is in the street outside my home and I see it every day from my study window - but yesterday I took this picture standing right underneath it and looking up into its branches. A couple of days ago it was covered in white blossom, but gradually green leaves are appearing. I love to see how this tree changes from season to season. Last autumn, I photographed it from my window as its leaves turned red

The tree stands on a patch of grass between houses and blocks of flats. It's in a street that is unremarkable in most ways, just a part of urban south east London, but yesterday the sun was shining, the trees were in blossom or bud, wildflowers from dandelions to forget-me-knots were flowering in the grass, and it was a glorious spring day. It is possible to enjoy nature even in London and sometimes just walking outdoors and looking at what's growing is enough to lift one's spirits.

My Pagan Eye posts show photos that I find interesting - seasonal images, pagan sites, events, or just pretty pictures. If you want to send me a photo for a Pagan Eye post, please email it to badwitch1234@gmail.com Let me know what the photo shows and whether you want your name mentioned or not. For copyright reasons, the photo must be one you have taken yourself.
