A bush overflowing with blossoms caught my eye as I walked down Carlisle Avenue. Amidst the crowded buds, there was one that stood out. It was a solitary blossom on the verge of opening while the rest of the buds remained closed. Also, it was alone while the rest of the buds were in groups of two or three. This blossom is the subject of my 03/28/23 postcard, it was pointing down, and I decided to leave it that way.
