It’s that time of year for the cherry blossoms in Wooster Square Park in New Haven, Connecticut! I love how this is becoming a new spring tradition. I decided to go early morning during the weekday since it tends to be least busy.
I love how I captured this man staring at the trees in awe and then eventually take his photos. All kinds of people walk through that park — families, couples, photographers, influencers, dog walkers, kids and many more. We all share that collective excitement for the cherry blossoms. There’s something beautiful about that!
I saw a photographer doing a photo shoot with a couple. I bet those photos will come out beautifully. It reminded me to take a selfie as I rarely take photos of myself.
There were no shortage of dogs in the park. My favorite had to be a basset hound pup who kept watching me photographing. I tried to get one of the cutie but unfortunately I couldn’t get him in focus (I’m sharing the photo anyways so you can see for yourself!).
There are a lot of lamps around the park. There’s only so many angles that I could capture year after year. I’ll have to be honest, I struggled creatively to take different angles and captures from years prior so it wasn’t my best photo walk. I still enjoyed the beauty of the cherry blossoms regardless. The temperature was perfect too — it felt like a summer day!
I’ll always suggest to walk down the side streets surrounding Wooster Square Park — you’ll find many beautiful homes and even more trees.
The residents of New Haven are so fortunate to have this beautiful park to enjoy on a daily basis while the cherry blossoms are around. The cherry blossoms are gorgeous and I'm always in awe of them every time.
