It's still winter time but the flowering plum trees start to bloom from lifeless looking branches. I was surprised and amazed to see so many white blossoms in a local parking lot recently. Such a beautiful sign of spring. It's not a surprise that the plum flowers are a symbol for Chinese New Year. Appearing between the winter and spring seasons, of course they symbolize hope and courage. My watercolor of the blossoms and buds was also perfect for our Saturday painting group prompt to paint something expressing "new and/or hopeful". A start for being hopeful this year .
