Flickr Finds: Sam Spenser's 'bloom'

The large flowering tree outside of our apartment has only recently begun regrowing its leaves after shedding almost all of them during that extended heat wave we experienced a few weekends back here in LA. Perhaps we need to follow artist Sam Spenser's lead and mimic his piece titled 'bloom', as shared by Flickr user, warholuva. How oh so Umbrellas Of Cherbourg! A few more photos of this surreal foliage replacement under the jump...

I love this!

(I don't love "How oh so ____," which makes baby cry.)

"Under the jump" is about the stupidest phrase I've heard all day.
