Birds and Cherries

June 2020

This collection is the result of a warm summer day when the cherry tree in my backyard was laden with yellow cherries and my mom and I were waiting for a social distancing visit from a family friend. The sun was bright, the birds were chirping, and I spent the afternoon squinting up through my camera at the cherry tree.
