My First Cherry Blossom

Cherry red

I wonder if cherry blossoms the same time in Japan. I have always wanted to go Japan to see cherry blossom. Well, this mini Japanese garden was just as magical to me. Japanese Sakura (Cherry Blossoms) bloom once a year for about two weeks. This is the first week and I am glad I could make it. The entry to the festival is five dollars. If you are resident/local or lucky like me, you get a free entry.

This is my first time to witness something so ‘cherry’, something so spectacle. Auburn Japanese Garden bloomed in pink. It was so pretty, absolutely beautiful. The catch is to go early if you want to get pretty shots. I took just about hundreds. Not really, I left it for next week. I was really overwhelmed by the crowd. Standing under the cherry blossoms on a sunny spring day could be very romantic. Well, it was. Even found people looking for partners. This has to do with the vibe I guess. Being showered by petals was one true remarkable experience and to sit under those trees and enjoy the view, completeness. Wow! Just wow! It was amazing. I loved the pops of pink. Some more on pops:
