Happy Hanami!

Hanami is the Japanese cultural tradition enjoying and viewing the cherry blossom season.

I managed to get out to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens for the start of Hanami on Sunday, and it was a beautiful afternoon. The official cherry blossom festival, Sakura Matsuri, isn't until the first of May, and many of the trees aren't in bloom yet, but there were still lots of beautiful flowers to be enjoyed.
