Today’s gorgeous Flickr Friday photo comes from Flickr user drp, a graphic designer from Belleville, New Jersey—just north of the city. This photo was taken in Newark’s own Branch Brook Park, which was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted (who also designed New York’s Central Park). The park’s cherry trees rival Washington D.C. in variety and beauty.

More information about Branch Brook Park can be found on its Wikipedia page and the Branch Brook Park Alliance site. You can also view 9 other photos of the park in drp’s A Walk Through Cherry Blossom Land set on Flickr.
