And So It Begins
first buds 2012
Dark buds have been slowly making the cherry-tree branches bumpy, but today they suddenly erupted with color. No blossoms as of yet, but the color is clearly there where yesterday there was none.

The blossoms are quite late this year. Comparing to the my cherry-blossom timelapse from 2007, this year seems to be about five days late.
While I was down taking shots of the buds, an obvious grandpa/grandson pair strolled by, and they just looked so pleasant that I had to snap a shot...
