Sayonara sakura

As mentioned before it has been windy and rainy the past week. The sakura held out for the sakura matsuri (cherry blossom festival) on Saturday. Cloudy early on, it soon warmed up. We walked through the park, through wafts of pink petals and barbeques.
A little further to the south, the following afternoon was spent around Shoyama. Countless trees line the river.
It’s hard to portray in a couple of photos, especially being overcast. I had a really nice time despite sneezing myself inside out.

Today is my blog birthday … I invite you for cake (or a look at a cake)!
I’ve listed your blog as on of my favorites this year and I’m adding you to my new blog roll side bar. Thanks for listing me too.

Thank you very much Meg and well done on your first year. I’m pleased it’s worked out well for you, especially reading your post.
It’s going to be another year for the next cherry blossom. Hopefully I’ll be able to get out during the autumn.

Hey,
nice sakura pictures. I have wonderful memories of sakuras in Japan. I wrote a story about what they meant for the Japanese on my blog:
