My daughter is taking Japanese for her foreign language in high school. Today, she taught me the word "hanami" which means "flower viewing" but it almost always refers to going out and looking at the cherry blossoms. Apparently, it's a custom, and very popular to do. Since the weather was absolutely beautiful in Seattle today, and to celebrate the first full weekend of Spring, we decided that "hanami" was the perfect thing to do.
If spring hasn't reached you yet, we hope it does very, very soon. In the meantime, here's a few (very unprofessional) photos of the Yoshino cherry tress on the University of Washington campus. Enjoy!
