Spring's Palette: Cherry Blossoms in Chelsea, London

​The last couple of days we have finally been enjoying some spring weather, and as spring unfolds, cities worldwide are once again graced by the beauty of cherry blossoms. From the streets of Tokyo to the charming avenues of Washington D.C., Paris, and Seoul, these blooms transform urban landscapes with their pink and white hues.
