Cherry blossoms!

They are here, in a big way, and a glorious sight to behold indeed. In fact, from morning to afternoon on this 18-degree day they popped open wider and wider. I was so enjoying looking at the clouds of pink and white around me that I have no photos of my own to share. However, here are a few of someone else's taken yesterday in Tokyo and today in Kyoto.

Spring is here and a beautiful start to the new school year.
