Cherry In Full Bloom 染井吉野開得茂盛

I took these pictures in the time of full bloom under the clear blue sky. The branches of cherry trees look like covered with snow. This hybrid kind, Somei Yoshino is especially gorgeous.

I love to walk under big trees and look up at  blooms. Birds, bulbuls and sparrows come to suck nectar. In the silence, I hear they chirping and watch blooms falling.

These branches grow without human trimming. I am quite relaxed under them.

The full bloom of cherry only lasts a few days. The period from opening to falling is 10 days.

When a bloom opens, stamens are yellow. They gradually change to red and petals begin to fall.

The temperature was low after blooming this year. In addition, there were no strong wind or heavy rain. We have enjoyed the blooms longer than usual.

大家一年等待了這個美妙的時光。

年年欲惜春 春去不容惜
