So basically I found out that the sakura has started to bloom in a city park not too far from me so I decided to use my three-hour of free time between my monday lessons to take some pictures because the weather was real nice and sakura don't tend to bloom for that long.

Now I'm sharing some of the pictures with you, enjoy! :)

Nice, we never get blue skies like that in Oregon. Even if the sky is blue, it's always a depressing almost grey type of blue.

The sky wasn't that dark blue, it was pretty much lighter.

I guess you're on of them.

OMG FLOWERZZZZZ

I've been seeing them around my home town as well, beautiful trees.

I really wish I had one now.


Does anyone know how long they take to grow? Are they relatively quick? I didn't think they could live through our winters, but, I'll be damned - I saw some today.

We see burnt trees with carvings saying "I gt fukd ere 2k7" In liverpool.

I think i would have a spazz-out if i saw something that nice here.

Brilliant pictures by the way.

Those are really beautiful pictures.

Holy crap, you took those yourself? I thought you google'd them! Nice, very nice.

really pretty :D

Those are really beautiful pictures.

Yea, I like Sakura trees. They are so great when they bloom, and its also nice when they start to lose their petals.

onrpg... i.. i... didnt know you cared


i dunno bout the rest of you but imabout sick of winter. we had hailstones yesterday and that was on top of about three days of rain and cloud. sitting in your room all day working is infinitely more depressing when the outside is one ceaseless collage of grey.

bring on the summer, shorts, bbq's and skinny dipping is what i say

Amen to that.

Thats really nice, around here we get some Cherry Blossoms in Seattle. Where you live?

Wow. Those trees look SO pretty. :)
I wish we had something that pretty where I lived. The colours and everything is just so, pretty to look at. :)

All of the trees here are still naked. ):

-wouldnt know about rain or snow since serix lives in a tropical paradise-


amen to skinny dipping.

Where exactly do you live dude?

I've never seen these trees outside of video games.
They don't grow well in New Hampshire, I guess.

I really love this kind of place, it's a good place to walk around with ur Bf's and Gf's. Also just to relax without the comp .

:O KAM LIKES NUDE TREES!

Those are some really nice pictures though.

Very nice. I would love to see some of those in bloom one of these days.

i have cherry blossom trees in my back yard =3

In KC the grass is so green and the trees are all dead. It's a surprising contrast after being in South America for a month where it's fall.

No beautiful cherry blossoms in Kansas.
=[

Pretty O_O Where do you live btw? I would like to live in a city like that if I could.

Awesome pictures...

Here we only got these trees with yellow flowers, we call it ipê... Pretty ones too (;

Damn, we need Sakuras?

Wow, I love the pictures you took especially the last three.

Can I save it? Might use it for my future forum signature or something. XD

LOL at the n00bs who got hail after 3 days of coldness.
Here in Toronto we've had like a week and a half of +20°C temperatures!
(That's roughly 68° and above for you American peoples who are too afraid to get naked)

Nice shots there. Its really pretty. What I want to see now is the falling sakura petals. Could you please take a picture of it too? XD

Awesome shots.

Sakuras are beautiful, It's a shame I've never seen one in real life.

Beautiful pictures, thanks for posting them. :D

Stockholm, Sweden. But it's not like it's gonna stay that way for very long.

Sure, I don't mind.

Omg. Beautiful. I want to fly there, now.

You better hurry then, from what I've heard they just bloom for a week and I think it started last Friday or so.
