Tis the Hanami (Cherry Blossom) season in Japan right now. Managed to grab a few hours take in the view before I head for Europe.
Previous cherry blossom photos can be seen in the 2009 and 2008 photo articles.
Was much warmer during this season in previous years but this year has been very odd indeed. There were many days where it was warm in the morning and then freezing by late afternoon.
Usually we would spend a warm afternoon sitting on a mat under the trees but this year (also due to lack of time) we just grabbed a bento and then walked around our local park.
Any Cherry Blossoms in your neck of the woods? I was surprised to see some in Seattle and Vancouver when I was over many moons ago.
Only a few hours left before I need to dash for the plane so will leave you to wander around.
