The full bloom sakura (cherry blossom) time is fast approaching. It features in the news each day. And given today is Sunday and I only had to walk to the shops to pick up my new 'seal of authenticity' (see last Thursday, Day 84...) there was not much else to do but go and check on the status of our local blooms.
Which I did.
...and the blooms need few words.
They are only here for about ten days...

| Shimmer |

| Dancer....tra-lah |
 |
| Cascaders |
 |
| En masse |
 |
| Branching out |
 |
| Sky-full |
Except for the fact that what intrigues me is that the flowers come out in large groups, or single blossoms, or what appears to be even just out of the trunk. All shapes, all sizes, all types.
Just perfect really.
