Long overdue but better later then never right? So anyway...
First two pictures were taken in Kyoto at the end of March. The cherry blossoms were really slow to bloom. This winter was quite cold and the whole time we were there it was raining and we didn't see the sun at all.
One of my favourite pictures taken in Kyoto.
But as fast as they bloom they are gone which also makes for a beautiful scene where the ground is completely covered in pink leaves. I'll let the pictures do the talking.
There are parks and areas that are full of sakura trees and when they are at full bloom the Japanese have a Hanami festival. Which is a flower viewing festival. It's pretty much sitting under them eating and drinking beer.
Next post will be some pics of the Sakura in full bloom while I was living in Matsumoto ;)
