Sakura has bloomed



Yes! Sakura ( Cherry Blossom ) has finally bloomed in Nagano over the weekend, thus declared the official arrival of Spring. =)

We were absolutely busy, actually. Tons of agendas to attend to, hardly any chance to slip off for a decent breather. Just some shots in between car rides.

Gosh, we so want all the stuff to be done, so that we can relax and enjoy Spring better. A short walk under the blossom shelter was all we could afford.

We weren't too grouchy anyway. These days Spring is good at topping dessert with my favourite fruit.

Yum... we feel all better. =P

    incredibly beautiful!
    There is not much pinkness in the blossom here somehow.
    You just made me think about visiting Japan again (Sakura, Mountain and cute Cake... especially the cake!).

    こんばんわ、スターダストさん
    ようやく、訪問出来ました。
    長野県の桜も、美しいわ。
    春がやって来たって、感じです。
    アルプスの山の上には、雪があって、
    まだ、少し寒そうです。
    体調に気を付けて、春を味わって下さいね。
    そして、春と言えば、イチゴの季節、
    甘いイチゴをデザートに最適。
    コーヒーと一緒に、食べたくなってきました。
    エスプレッソでお願いします。
    なんてね：D

    from loved ume tyan
