Hanami

I went to see cherry blossoms at a nearby shrine with Ami and Hachi.



In our area, the cherry trees are in full bloom.



We call cherry blossom viewing Hanami in Japanese.

It has been a spring customary event.

The original purpose was just to appreciate the beauty of cherry blossoms, but nowadays, we enjoy not only to do so but also having open-air parties.

At the famous places for beautiful cherry blossoms, there are many people who spread plastic sheets under the trees in the early morning or on the day before to secure the best viewing spot.

Some people take a day off for the role.

It’s a true story.

Hi Ivy!
To tell the truth, it was really difficult to take the photo because Hachi wasn't interested in cherry blossoms.
He prefers food to flowers :d

Hahaha! That's very typical of dogs. I used to have two golden retrievers. They preferred the kitchen to the garden. -__-;;

Two golden retrievers?
That's great!!
Someday I would like to live with such a big dog.

You captured the colors of the trees and the cherry blossoms very well. It's very beautiful, as Hachi. Isn't it the same for every dog that they'd prefer to food to flowers?? ^_^

Hi Destiny!

I'm very glad that you praised my photographs :-))
Ami took these photographs. She likes taking phtos very much, but I'm poor at taking photos.
