Sakura 2006
This year’s cherry blossom season was a real disappointment compared with last year. Cherry trees are extremely punctual and usually all bloom at the same time around the beginning of April. Yet cherry trees are also very delicate so when the flowers bloom it’s not long before they fall. This year right when the trees were at peak bloom, the Japanese call it ‘mankai’, we had many rain and wind storms which wreaked havoc on the flowers thus making this year’s cherry blossom viewing below standard. I still tried my best and went out to see the cherry blossoms as much as possible. Even with the foul weather the cherry blossoms never cease to amaze me.

Is that a wild parrot?

What’s that bird? A wild parrot? I want to know, too.
If it was wild, there would be no way I could get that close to it. Someone brought their pet to the park to enjoy the cherry blossoms too.

By the way, did you get a chance to ride in one of those awesome looking boats designed as a goose or swan or whatever that thing was?
