Sakura flowers on a clear spring day...

I know its still a month or so before the early days of spring. I hope this photo will remind you of how beautiful spring weather can be.

Weather here in the Philippines right now feels like spring. Its cool in the morning and in the evening, and flowers are in full bloom.

In Japan, the blooming of the sakura marks the *official* start of spring. Flower viewing rituals are called "Hanami". Families and friends sit under the sakura trees and party. It is a sign of good luck if a sakura petal falls on you during hanami.

Repost Note:
