Last time I said 'Happy New Year!' and now it's a time to see
beautiful flowers all over the places.
Plum(梅) blossoms season is almost over, and now we expect
our National flower, cherry blossoms(桜) will come to bloom.
Well, now when we say 'bloom gazing(花見),' it means
we go to see cherry blossoms.
However, a thousand years ago, it meant '梅見',
enjoying plum blossoms.
I think, 梅 is more like teenage girls,
and 桜 have charms of elder ladies.
梅(plum) are lovely and smell very nice.
They cheer me up.
On the other hand, 桜(cherry) has mysterious beauty.
It might be said 'sensual.'
I'll update photos of cherry blossoms when the season comes.
Hope you compare those photos and let me know your impression. ;)
