Two old weeping flowering cherries grow side by side by a trail in Ravenna Park, near the park playgrounds. The spread of the branches looks like an umbrella of flowing pink flowers against a hazy Seattle sky. A basic two-rail wooden fence delineates the line between the lawns and the main trail. There are puddles in the trails and paths. A tennis court is off to the right. The trail on the left meanders into a small stand of dark pine trees in the background.
Pale lavender, urn shaped Heather flowers bloom profusely amid their spiky leaves. The flowers' corollas are closed up to the top, where the petals open like a little lampshade. The pistils pop out like bright lavender bell clappers.
