Hanami - Flower Viewing Photos

"Hana" means flower and "mi" means viewing or something like that. So a "hanami party" is a flower viewing party. This is a very popular Japanese tradition during the Sakura season, the Cherry Blossom season. We are in the prime of this season now. Today my supervisor suggested that we get food to go from the grocery store and go sit outside underneath the cherry blossom trees. :D Sometimes Japan is just a wonderful place to be. I ate Salmon sushi underneath the cherry blossoms.

The following are edited a bit. It was a cloudy day and my camera just didn't have the skill to capture these blossoms alone.

I think I'll be posting more soon!









Thanks for reading/viewing! ;)

  1. Wow, cool! Sweet pictures, babe! Yeah, you're right, I bet these would be spectacular with a really nice camera. Probably what ReBekha's doing riiiight now. I really like the close-ups! I have to say, though, I think the last one is my favorite ;)
