* which is the Japanese tradition of
viewing and cherishing each moment
of the cherry blossom season.
Had to show you the cherry blossoms
in the botanic garden in their full
glory. Here's a time-lapse video of
last year's bloom.

Love this view and the video !
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing all this beauty with us.
Just when I thought the cherry-blossom viewing season was over...
ReplyDeleteIs there a Sakura Festival at BBG this year?
At first I thought the one in pink here somehow might have been Shell. Then I realized that the one in pink was too tall. Just joking. Hey, if I didn’t find less than Amazonianly statuesque women copacetic would I choose to live in Japan for 15 years?
How spectacular, Alexa! And thanks for the link to that video - also lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of cherry blossoms. {That's the last time I drink too much sake and wander backstage during a Japanese school concert...}
I just love cherry blossoms. Cherishing every moment is good advice. See Subang Jaya's posting today to see a beautiful nursery and to read an even more beautiful letter that recalls your post.
ReplyDeleteYou are SO welcome, Marylene!
ReplyDeleteTG -- Shell is awfully cute, isn't she? Yes, there was a Sakura festival this past weekend—by which time the cherry blossoms were slightly past this prime time (took this midweek). Lots of fun, music, food —though supposedly their idea of a "Japanese dessert" was cherry pie.
Shell -- LOL!
Bibi -- went to the Subang Jaya blog—beautiful. Thanks!
