Early spring blossoms

This year some of the cherryblossom(?) trees are blooming ahead of what we normally experience o_o

Since the blossoms normally only lasts for about 2 weeks after they bloom, we try to take the opportunities to capture them in photos as much as we can! Especially when the weather is clear and beautiful!

This is like the last bit of sunlight before the sunset.

We almost missed it cos I was spending some time to dress my Dollfie :P Blossoms in the shade has a completely different feel compared to blossoms in the sunlight :)

I love cherryblossoms as they reminds me a lot of Japan :)

Husband took some shots as well, I hope he’ll have a chance to post them soon ^^

Meanwhile, he had posted some shots he took on last weekend at Queen Elizabeth Park :D

    heh unfortunately the cables are just there, I already cropped out some other bits and bobs which had nothing to do with the blossoms, I wanted to show the part which was partially lit up by the sunlight :)

    Wow, spring has come on your country? That’s very early. Maybe we will be able to see the cherry blossom late in March. It seems to be darker pink than Japan, but it’s so vivid! I felt spring because the strong wind has blown yesterday. It’s called “Haru-Ichiban” in Japan. It means “Spring No.1”.
    By the way, do you know “Haru-chan”? It’s the character of the TV weather news show.

    I was in downtown in the middle of Olympics and there were cherry blossoms already! The Vancouver weather is tricking these poor trees if it suddenly becomes real cold again, lol.
