Cherry blossom in the rain

Having finished my shopping at the supermarket I ran back to my car through the rain. When I squeezed through the narrow gap between the cars my head touched these low hanging cherry blossoms, which awoke me to their glory.

I had my little camera in the car so quickly got out again and took a couple of pictures. A woman returned to the car next to mine and she commented on how beautiful they were which lead to a brief chat. the rain kept it short. I had to take a picture as I think these flowers had only just opened and I knew they wouldn't look as good for very long, and I knew I might not be back for a while.
