Are you seeing signs of spring? Everything around me is blooming, and it’s total bliss.

Cherry blossom trees are painting the sky purple. Fresh blooms are turning LA’s sidewalks into flower marts. And the days are becoming just long enough to tease us.

Naturally — as any Instagram-lover would do — I’ve been snapping photos.

Sometimes, the most mundane pieces of beauty following winter are enough to remind us the world always gives us another chance to begin again. To grow again. To love again.

A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms.” Zen Shin
