Well, here we are. At the end. I would say that the trees are about 99.9% in bloom, and what a beautiful sight they make. Don't you agree?
For the past four weeks we have witnessed the buds, after months of being dormant, suddenly open and come to life. We have seen the blossoms change from their pink colours to the beautiful white.
In my last post a week ago, 1st April, I mentioned that there were hundreds of people here to celebrate the "Cherry Blossom" season. Today it will be in the thousands. Last Monday, 6th April, I joined a group of friends to mark the celebration ( photos in another post)and, on that day, there wasn't much space for people to lay-out their mats and enjoy the sight.
Next Sunday, 12th April, I will be returning, this time with my wife and family, and any friends who wish to join us.
In my next post I will be showing-off all my photos, taken during the "Cherry Blossom" season. As there will be many photos, I will be downloading them in video and slide form. The web-address will be posted for ease of viewing.
So, until then, kanpai and enjoy the 'season.
