Hanami

Hana (flower) + mi (see)

scent of plum blossoms
on the misty mountain path
a big rising sun


Matsuo Basho



Yes, it is that time of the year again ... when you drive out of your garage, tiny white petals get swept away from your path. And when the wind blows, a shower of white petals cover the path again.


And what is better than not having to even get out of bed to see such lovely mountains framed by these beautiful flowers.
