We do not have many sakura trees in Tashkent, but I am fortunate to have one close to my house. Today I spent half an hour under the tree, marvelling at these blooms. They look like vintage lace to me, frayed edges and imperfections making it even more precious. It is a pity that these blooms do not last, but I remember their fleeting beauty throughout the year.
There was a haiku by Issa:
when cherry blossoms
scatter...
no regrets
I LOVE cherry blossoms and can't wait until they start blooming again. Your photos are stunning and the haiku is so sweet :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Sadly, there are no cherry trees at all where I currently live.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. It looks like spring is on it's way!
