Pink carpet

Seeing the ground, covered with falling petal carpet.
It's gradation of pink and moss green.
They are dead but still sowing and working on the ground. They will make fertile soil and help the ground recycled.
It reminds me of the great picture book of The Fall of Freddie the Leaf: A Story of Life for All Ages.

Forecast of flowering time

It's reported that the forecast of flowering Sakura will be around 15th this weekend.
My daughter in Australia will come back on that day. She is lucky to meet Sakura in full bloom during her stay here. They might have waited to welcome her because she had missed them for several years.
Thanks for their coming late in bloom this year!
She will enjoy unforgettable natural beauty soon.

The first Sakura

I've found the first blossoms in my area. It's small and young tree but the color is strong pink red.
It's the first view in this season.
It gives me a little pleasure.
