I refuse to go to crowded places to take photos of cherry blossoms

Standing under the cherry blossom tree in uniform for the last time. Wearing camouflage and counting over 1,000 sunsets, this time I can finally see the finish line. Counting the days until retirement, the rain we got caught in together, the sleepless nights, the officers we scolded... all have become memories that make me smile. Just like this cherry blossom tree, it should fall when it blooms the fullest. Some things, like camouflage green, will forever be dyed into my life. This is Tacoma Community College, completely empty. You can find angles to take really good photos. The University of Washington is just too crowded; I’ve taken photos there before, and it feels like the flowers there are getting whiter. Photos 2-3 are from Wapato Park; just look for the basketball court and you’ll see many cherry blossom trees.
