In keeping with tradition, the photos of the sakura (cherry blossoms) go up long after the flowers themselves have disappeared. To add a bit of variety, I've included some pictures from Hitachi Seaside Park, a renowned spot out in Ibaraki prefecture. We were pretty lucky with the weather for the latter; for the sakura, there were quite a few days to choose from, which makes it easier to get the kind of pictures you want.
Anyway. Hope you like them!
More to come.
Thanks for looking!
