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

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