Blossoms Like Clouds
One of the many things I love about Sakura is how there are so many different ways to look at and enjoy them. This shot comes from the same tree as in this picture from a few days back.

A Lovely Spring Day In Satte
Got to spend a beautiful Spring day in Satte today with my family.

Going on a Tuesday night probably help. 🙂 Camera: Nikon...
