Cherry Blossom Viewing

Last Saturday I went out for cherry blossom viewing in the garden of Himeji Castle.  According to the forecast of blooming of cherry blossoms in Himeji City, the blossoms in the garden of the castle were expected to be in full bloom on March 31, so it was a bit early.  As expected, some of the blossoms were still in bud, but mass of cherry blossoms on the branches made most cherry trees looked like in full bloom.  A lot of people were gathering around trees, photographing blossoms, and chatting.  The lives of cherry blossoms are short, and when they die, flower petals are gone gracefully.  Viewers enjoy viewing the short moment of cherry blossoms in bloom.
