It's Sakura Time Again.....




Yeah, it's cherry blossoms (sakura) season again.... it's the time of year that you can see such beautiful flowers (pink and whites) all over Japan. People usually go to parks, shrines and temples with family and friends and hold a "flower viewing party" known as hanami (花見). Hanami festivals celebrate the beauty of sakura, and for many, it is a chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. Hanami custom in Japan dates back to many centuries ago......

Hi Kath!

Just yesterday, while I was walking home with Kerry (my girl friend), I was showing her the pink flower Sakura tree outside my flat. So beautiful, we stop right there and went on to discuss: Wonder where it came from; May be Japan; I have seen a mountain full such trees in photo online.....dadadaaaa

Now I came across this again on your blog, looks like we gonna have another long conversation around it. Hahaha!

And Ya, thanks for your wishes on the B'day, simply fantastic.

Have Fun and Breath in the Spring fill the lungs!

Chandra ^__^

Happy Easter greetings to your family from Kerry, my wife and I.

Stay Well!
