Cherry Blossoms Tokyo - 2009

The small river near our home, the trees are in full bloom!

Another year gone by, and the beautiful Sakura are everywhere right now as well as gorgeous weather for them! We took Daisy for a walk around a couple places we know that aren't crowded, especially the normal walk we usually take, a small river-side about 4 minutes walk from our house.

Here are the pics from this year.

Tried to get Daisy to look at the camera, but she was enjoying watching other dogs and the little Sakura petals that were blowing off the trees in the breeze, like a snow shower of petals!

Ken and Daisy, taking in the view, and in Daisy's case, tasting the Sakura petals that have blown to the ground.

Ken pointed out to me this interesting phenomena, flowers sprouting right out from the trunks of trees!

A very close up of the Sakura fully opened.
