Ahhh its so cuuute

This country loves the fluffy, the rugby team are called the Cherry Blossoms, the cute and above all the pink. Pink is everywhere all year round little Hello Kitys hanging from peoples mobiles pink skirts pink soft toys - everywhere. Now Japan is in the grip of a national obsession Cherry Blossom season. Its hard to imagine another country where people go quite so crazy over spring. Its a constant topic of conversation. There are over 200 different varieties of cherry blossom in this country white ones red ones and of course pink lots of pink ones. I may be being a little dismissive so in fairness (roight) they are very spectacular in a pretty kind of way. I suppose pink isn't really a spectacular colour at all so they were nice very nice and cycling along the river with the petals drifting down towards the water it was extremely nice. Spring has come on strong everywhere you look the bushes and trees are sprouting little blossomy things and the grass is turning green after a winter of brownness. It is also thank whoever one thanks in an atheistic country warm. Lovely. On my blossom viewing trip I saw hundreds of people photographing trees, doing in fact exactly what I had come to do. Suddenly it seemed so cliche to just photograph the tree so I focused on the photographers but well yeah that's been done to death as well. So I settled for a few random shots, what I want is something a little original so if anyone can think of anything please let me know.

Just a little seasonal one for you,

Take care,
Roger
