Cherry blossoms, Peradeniya, Sri Lanka.

It is cherry blossom ( Toboebia roesa) time in Sri Lanka now. The trees are in full bloom. A pinkish carpet covers the bottom of the trees and a blaze of pink and purple greets the wayfarer. I took this photo a few days back on the Peradeniya road near the bridge over the Mahaweli Ganga.

Cherry blossoms in front of the Dalada Maligawa, Kandy, Sri Lanka.

The violet-pink cherry blossoms seen with a background of a blue sky, and the pink carpet of wilted flowers on the ground make a beautiful sight. This photo was taken in front of the Temple of the Tooth, Kandy, Sri Lanka a few days back by me.
