Looking from bridge down to Branch Brook through pink cherry blossom
There are more than 3,000 cherry blossom trees in Branch Brook Park in Newark, New Jersey, USA. Usually,
these cherry blossom trees are in full bloom in the second week and the third week in April each year. Many
visitors come to enjoy the beautiful cherry blossom all over the place during the annual Cherry Blossom Festival
in Branch Brook Park. I visited Branch Brook Park during the annual Cherry Blossom Festival at least three
times in last few years to enjoy and to take pictures of the beautiful cherry blossom as shown on this web page.

There are also many birds in the Branch Brook Park. Some are on the lawn catching bugs or worms to eat.
Many other birds are on the trees singing beautiful love songs to attract their mates during the spring time.
