Popcorn poppin on the Cherry Trees

When we first got here to Japan, we were just coming out of the winter. It was cold and lifeless looking. Then all of a sudden the cherry blossoms started coming out and it looked amazing. When went down the road to the town of Hirosaki where they have a castle in the middle of a cherry orchard. The pictures don't even come close.
















In the background is the castle. I can only imagine waking up to this the first real day of spring, looking out and seeing all of this.





This is the view from the castle window! Amazing!

Tyler, Rose and Kids,

It was great seeing your pics and reading your great commentary. It looks very exotic there. Thanks for the update.

I am just soooo jealous - what a beautiful, gorgeous country. You all are so lucky you get to live there for a while, even if it started out in a place about as big as a refrigerator box . . . Thanks for all the wonderful pictures.
