Cherry Blossoms in Japan

Cherry Blossoms in Japan

OHanami (お花見) - Cherry Blossom Viewing
The sky is a beautiful backdrop for these breathtaking Sakura trees.

The cherry blossoms bloom for no more than two weeks, so traditionally the blossoms represent the transient nature of life.

This is the second year that we have walked the Cherry Blossom trek along the river in Miyagi Prefecture. There are about 1000 trees. We started in Ogawara and walked to Funeoka. It took us an hour to leisurely walk the 2.5 kilometers.

Those blossoms are gorgeous! The light off-white clouds offer the perfect 'canvas' for the pink blossoms to show off so well...

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Married Shadows

My husband and I haven't had a T.V. for the last 15 years, maybe more, so we often go to see movies at the Cinema. The last couple of ones that I've enjoyed have been Transformers II and Terminator IV. Two more of my favorites are Slumdog Millionare and Milk. These latter two were well done movies from all angles (acting, script, cinematography). This is us after an afternoon at the movies and eating out. We had just come from Starbucks and were heading to the train station. For more shadow shots and to learn how to join this Meme, please visit Hey Harriet's blog .
