Cherry Blossoms Opening on Mt. Yadake in Okinawa

Sakura (桜) Report #1

 

 

The Cherry Blossom Season started early, again this year.

The pink and red flowers were spotted by Doc Graff this morning.



So, you know where I went today.  Up that mountain.

It's cold and windy up there.

The little flower buds, are just starting to open.

Not being a real mathematician or anything like that, I'll take an uneducated guess.

Maybe, less than one percent of the Sakura (桜) are blooming.

Most of the cherry trees, still look like this one.

So, if you want to join the crowds of sakura chasers, start making travel plans.

By the middle of next month, Cherry Blossom Season should be going full throttle !

January is only half way over but, I probably won't enter any more photo contests.

 Sakura (桜) Season has started and, I plan on being busy.

The Cherry Blossoms are turning the hills brilliant colors and I don't want to miss them.

So, don't count on me hanging around here when I can be out with the cameras.

In the event any more Editor's Picks turn up we'll see them at the end of January 2013.
