Free Cherry Blossom Wallpaper For iPhone and iPad
With the cherry blossoms blooming this week around much of Japan, I thought it might be nice to share a free cherry blossom background for everyone to enjoy on their phones. I’ve sized this especially for current iPhones and iPads, but I’m sure you can find something here that will work on a number of devices.
