Hanami

When cherry blossoms start to bloom, many Japanese go out and have a little party under the tree. We call this "Hanami", or cherry blossom viewing.
Japanese deeply love cherry blossoms.

How lovely a custom! And here, I'm all alone, admire peach and pear blossoms. Wonderful to see the Japanese people, as numerous as the blossoms.

Thank you everyone!
Yes, I love this custom. I'm also excited when the cherry blossoms start to bloom.

Lilly,
Thank you for letting me about Flickr blog. I wondered why so many people viewed this photo which is not on the Explore.
I was surprised when I found my photo on the blog for introducing "Hanami"
