cherry blossoms

i've lived here nearly three years, and this is the first time i've made it to the brooklyn botanical gardens.

i'm not sure what i thought it would be like. i imagined mim running under the promenade of trees, throwing blossoms around and me getting fabulous pictures of it all. but this is what really happened, mim had no desire to run around or play with her friends. she had no intention of allowing me to get some good photos. the pictures of her on the bench were from the only opportunity i had to even prove we were there. fortunately, i had friends there that could help me get a shot of the two of us. thank you, amanda.
