Cherry Blossom Time 2017

the cherry blossom tree in Japanese is SAKURA.   The blossoms were late this year, or the city festival was early.   The blossoms are only slightly past their peak as of Saturday the 15th of April.   For any year when the rain and wind could make it all go away too soon.  Every time we hope for little rain and wind and a few days with sunny skies.
