Cherry blossoms are but one harbinger of spring. To painter Garrick Arnold, they also now represent grief and the enduring power of love after death.

The cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin in D.C. have reached PEAK BLOOM, according to National Park Service.

Inside a red bayberry garden in Jimei district of Xiamen, Fujian province, over 1,500 pink cherry trees are also blooming in full splendor.
