Cherry Blossom

Newer Older

Hey everybody. It is getting spring even if in Germany the weather is baaaa-a-a-a-a-a-d that I could cry. But in Japan Sakura is coming the weeks to follow. At this time the Cherry Blossoms all over Japan begin to bloom.

Believe me, it is beautiful and it touches my heart every time I see a photo of it. In these white Cherry Blossoms there is so much peace I really don’t know how to explain it. For me they just symbolize quietness, peace, rest and security. So good God created them as beautiful as they are.

In Germany we say “Ist das mit Perwoll gewaschen?” if something is really clean. I always imagine a huge washing machine cleaning all these blossoms. But baahh I don’t want to bother you with my fairy tales. I can tell these to my kids and grandkids later in life :)

I hope you like the photo as much as I do and get inspired to dream about how beautiful nature is.

If you are like me than you have things to do all of your time… But I want to encourage you today, take 5 minutes, or if you have no time at all, just looks at the little amenities you can find outside of the internet and your computer. This will surely make your day easier!

Have fun

Ben

    Absolutely stunning shot. The crispness of the blossoms makes me feel like I can reach out and touch them....feel calmer just looking at it. Outstanding :-)
