Springtime in Japan
It was slightly unfortunate that we left Japan about two weeks before the cherry blossom season really kicked in. We saw one or two isolated (but very beautiful) trees, but there’s nothing like the full on effect of blossom en masse to make you feel as if Spring has well and truly sprung.
Anyway, I’ve been really enjoying the flickr tag ‘blossom’ recently, so I thought it was about time to spread some vernal feeling around.

Sorry to hear you missed hanami; truly one of the great traditions here. Cherry blossom season is over in Tokyo and locales further south, but it hasn't even started yet in northern Japan, so you could still make it for the predicted blossoming in Morioka on April 26th.
