Cherry Blossom Season

The cherry blossom trees have lost almost all of their flowers. It was definitely a sight to see - I can see why the cherry blossoms are such a big part of the Japanese culture. You could see random cherry blossom trees everywhere and even though the blossoms were only blooming for a month of so, they do leave a lasting impression.

Here are some cherry blossoms up close. I picked them up this morning off the ground as I was walking the dogs.

Mona really liked the scent of the flowers -
we both agreed it was the same as a bouquet of roses.
