Cherry blossom in spring

No, not in Japan. This is one of the trees outside my front window:

My photography skills aren't the best, and I've left it a bit late, but it's still very pretty. The fallen petals have turned the gutters a lovely pink colour, too. :)

Beautiful picture! :D

I am a fan of the Shidare Zakura - the weeping cherry blossom.

Nice. Is that actually a sakura tree? Those flower clumps resemble a tree at a temple down the road from me.

I managed to make it to Kyoto for hanami this year:

I'm not so much looking at the tree as the sky behind it. It's blue, ye gads! Has there been some kind of climate shift and nobody told me? :P

Peace, love, empathy.
Forget about yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow because all that matters is today.

Dave, I was at a wargames show that day so as is traditional, the weather was gorgeous. :)
