I've always liked the look of blossoms. Maybe its due to my Asian background. I don't know. Here are some photos I took of blossoms last Saturday (click on the individual images to see larger versions):

Visually, they look great to me. As long as I don't have to clean them up when they start dropping from the tree, I'm more than happy to admire them.
