Cherry Blossoms at the UN Headquarters

Who is not in love with the cherry blossoms?
Well, perhaps those with allergies .. but I do love cherry blossoms.

If you notice, I have been posting our cherry blossoms seasons here in NYC.
Like Cherry Blossoms at Corona Park, Flushing Meadows, Queens that we visited last year.
 We have been wanting to go to Washington D.C. and enjoy the famous Cherry Blossoms festival there, but my schedule is always conflicting :(.

This year, we have put D.C. in our list but it coincided with the Spring Break and by the time we went back to NYC, we heard that most of the cherry blossoms in Tidal Basin were gone due to heavy rain and wind.

So, I just enjoy the cherry blossoms at the small section of the UN Rose Garden at the UN Headquarters.

One cloudy day, amidst the never ending meetings, I sneaked out and had a brief 'cherry blossoms moment' at the UN Rose Garden. Using my smartphone, I surely snapped a few pictures.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do :)

The cherry trees planting in the UN Rose Garden were made possible by the Lasker family, in the loving memory of Albert Davis Lasker, an American philanthropist, as you can see in the plaque below.

Wonderful Wednesday with Oh My Heartsie Girls

happy spring, everyone..

Beautiful, warm days are indeed coming.
And I love NYC more when the weather is friendly like this.

It has been another wonderful week for us, even with tons of laundry and dirty clothes from our road trip :).

But the sunny day is too appealing to ignore so I've tried to catch some remaining cherry blossoms, and I successfully failed :)). Instead, we just went to New York International Auto Show with my hubby and the kids. It was quite entertaining in a way.

Then on Monday, as I came back to the UN for more meetings, I just realized that the Rose Garden in the back of the UN Headquarters is beautifully blooming. 

Overlooking the Queensboro Bridge in the back..

The lines of cherry trees bring the beauty of spring to the UN, amidst the never-ending meetings we have inside the building. Glad I had the opportunity to enjoy a leisure, brief walk there.

Cherry Blossoms at Corona Park, Flushing Meadows, Queens

Cherry blossoms and spring are like pack and parcel. 

It beautifully comes together.

As this is our first spring in the Big Apple, forgive me for bombarding you with pictures of flowers here and there... 

I just can't fight it, taking picture all the time, in many corners of the city :).

They might look the same, but taken in different spots in NYC.

Mudah-mudahan belum boseeen ya liat postingan bunga di blogku ini. 
I know, I know...udah ada banyak yang cerita dan share mengenai musim semi di berbagai belakang dunia. Dan saya pun tidak Kuasa menolak hasrat hati untuk foto di sana sini dan jalan ke sana ke mari setelah lumayan lama 'disetrap' oleh musim dingin yang seriusan  dinginnya :). So, bear with me, okaaay ..

This time, I'll show you the cerry blossoms at Corona Park, Flushing Meadows, Queens.

As we couldn't visit Washington D.C on time for its famous annual cherry blossom festival, we looked for a closer alternative and voilaaa...we have one in our neighborhood!

Yuuup...

There, in Corona Park, Flushing Meadows, Quens..

Hanya berjarak kurang lebih 30 menit dengan mobil dari rumah, kami memang sering main ke Corona park. Apalagi karena taman ini letaknya satu kompleks denan Museum Queens yang pernah saya ceritakan di sini.


It was a bright lovely day and Bo et Obi just couldn't resist the temptation to play outside. Packing the toys, drinks and some munchies, off we went to the park just to be owed by the this particular spot filled with blossoming cherry trees...

Obi dan gayanyaaaa :)

Saya sebenernya penasaran sejak kapan festival yang identik dengan Jepang ini juga mulai marak dirayakan di negeri Paman Sam. Satu hal yang pasti, dari hasil ngintip di Wikipedia, Jepang  menghadiahkan pohon cherry ke AS di tahun 1912. Wooow...sudah lama juga yaa, sekitar 103 tahun yang lalu. Untuk merayakan persahabatan antara kedua negara, pohon-pohon ini awalnya ditanam di Manhattan, New York dan Washington D.C. Tempat yang di New York City namanya Sakura Park. Terus terang, saya sendiri belum pernah main ke sana...nanti mau dicari dan mampir aaah :).  Dan mungkin sejak itu, pohon cantik yang berbunga setiap awal musim semi ini jadi menandai pergantian musim yang indah. 

Bo was so happy to be outside...

So, as we arrived at this park, we immediately went to the cherry tree. 

It feels like we're in Japaaaan :0)
Although I haven't been there before...

Again, as I told you in my previous story, Missing the Alien at Flushing Meadow,  and Queens Museum in Winter, this area used to be the site of the 1964 World Fair. And apparently, the Japanese American Association of New York has presented these trees in conjuction to the fair.

Like Bo, Obi also enjoyed her time outdoor... 
She didn't forget to bring her Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony and both of them were having fun under, between and amidst the trees.

For sure, the cherry blossoms really worth a wait. After such a prolonged winter, we are now embracing oursleves in the world of vivid colors and bursts of happiness :)

The white one..

the Men in Black Tower at Corona Park...

Ada banyak tempat yang cantik dan penuh dengan cherry blossoms di NYC. 
Tapi saya baru sempat mengunjungi Corona park ini dan UN Headquarters. Mudah-mudahan masih diberi kesempatan untuk melihat cherry blossoms di sekitar kota ini, seperti di Brooklyn, Central Park dan New York Botanical Garden dan juga New Jersey.

salam dari Bo :)...

Do you have cherry blossoms as well near you place? How do you like it?
