Cherry blossoms are blooming fully!

 Dear my blogging friends,

 Thank you for your warm words. I and my family are OK and I decided it's the time to restart blogging. 

 Today I visited local river banks where many cherry blossom trees are planted. It's the first outgo for me since the funeral for my father ended. The walking on the river side with seeing full-blooming cherry blossoms was so refreshing for a change.






Some areas of the river banks are designed for allowing people to go down to the edge of the banks and to enjoy feeding wild carp and seeing the cherry blossoms closely.






 The carp were waiting for their feed in the water. They know people along the bank will feed them.
















 I feel it comforting that I saw many kids were playing with their parents under cherry blossoms trees. That reminds me of a memory with my father who played with me long time ago and makes me sentimental. But what would my dad say me now? I believe he would say "Hey, cheer up, son! I'm always with you."

Lovely pictures; lovely thoughts. You are so brave to accept the loss of your esteemed father so stoically.

I really miss Ohanami very much. Lovely blossoms and when you smile looking at sakura and people around you, your father will also be smiling looking at you.

Your photos of the beautiful cherry blossoms reminded me of the cherry blossoms in Washington, DC. I lived for many years nearby there in Virginia, where I had a cherry tree in my front yard. I am sorry about the loss of your father.

Thank you for visiting my blog, L.Ambler! I know the cherry blossoms in Washington, which were presented by the former mayor of Tokyo about 100 years ago. I'm very happy to share the beauty of cherry blossoms with you!
