Different sprouts

There must have been thousands, if not millions, of photos of cherry blossom all over the cyberspace.. and why not, since everyone loves beautiful photos.. Usually those shots would be of tree(s) full of the sakura flowers with nice scenic backdrop...

Personally, I like to take shots of cherry blossom flowers growing out from the trunk or branch.. Of course I do take the "conventional" trees/branches shots, but I always like to hunt for those "rebels" who sprout away from the "crowd".. :) Maybe because I would do the same if I were a cherry blossom.. :p

Here are some photos of these tough "renegade" cherry blossoms..
