Hanami

How leisurely the cherry
blossoms bloom this year, unhurried,
by their doom

  2. What a lovely and uplifting display of cherry blossoms. In this year's NW Flower and Garden show, the Seattle Arboretum's display garden celebrated Hanami, which was my introduction to this Japanese tradition.
