It’s blossom-gazing time, with sakura blooming in Japan. I did a little blossom-gazing myself yesterday at the local botanical garden, which has a few flowering cherries. Wichita had enough serious cold weather this past winter to trigger profuse bloom. Instead of a blue tarp, I brought my camera.
I arrived one windy day too late to catch this one at its prime.
The garden also has a Kwanzan cherry, but that won’t bloom for a few weeks yet.
America has its own flowering cherries:
Our cherry trees have already lost all their blossoms.
Lovely photos, man. 🙂
