The word ‘sakura’ (meaning cherry blossom) actually makes me think of the people I have known who are called Sakura. According to my parents I was almost called Yukichan (or if I was to be a boy – Martin). However they thought that as I was to grow up in Britain that British kids might change Yuki to yucky so instead I am Alice Mayumi. I am not sure what relevance that has to anything :)
I took these pictures yesterday lunchtime, ‘more is more’ rather than ‘less is more’ with cherry blossom isn’t it.

Lovely! I love blossom time.
My dad wanted to call my brother Maurice Oxford. And my mother wanted to call me Prudence. Lucky escapes!
The name that they gave you is lovely :)
It really is just the loveliest stuff. :) Love this time of year.
I was nearly Sian. My mum’s Welsh but my father was Jewish so we had a very Jewish sounding last name which my mother decided wouldn’t go with Sian. I think I prefer Caroline, anyway. I love the name Sakura!
It is strange to think one was almost called something else isn’t it! Caroline is an awesome name :)
Ahh beautiful! I really never get tired of seeing photos of sakura
So so beautiful!! :D x
Allison & Lorenza – I was glad to find some proper blossom. I think we have more to come here as it is still a bit cold.
i love how you’ve captured so many cherry blossoms in a single shot! it is overwhelmingly beautiful! :)
I like how frothy they look on the tree :)
