Sakura

The Cherry trees are just about to start blossom and the excitement is in the spring-like air. Everybody are talking about picnics under the trees and the local supermarket hands out brochures about the cherry trees in the city. On the internet you find daily close ups of the blossoms for example in Tokyo, so that you can follow the exciting progress.

We will let you know, what the fuss is all about, as soon as we have been to our first ohanami – the flower viewing parties held in the shadow of the blossoming trees.
The picture is a map of our city from the brochure mentioned above. The pink flowers are the cherry trees. The red box is our apartment’s location. The name of our road is Sakura Dori, meaning the cherry blossom road. :o) (click to enlarge).

See you under the cherry trees for a beer or a sake :-)
