It was only last year that I got excited about Cherry trees and the yearly Sakura. I took this afternoon to tour many of the plants that I know of.

The sun was shining bright and high when I started my tour, which I hated, but I could tell cherries against blue is not going to look terrible. At the same time, there was promise of thin overcast which is about the perfect thing you could ask for. White cloud mixed with blue sky makes a very nice looking light blue which I overall prefer.

Roihuvuori Cherry tree garden was populated, I was in shock. But I had fun times shooting people after a hiatus induced by empty streets and whatnot. In retrospect I should have stayed here and make the most of the people.

The blossom isn't as full here in Vuosaari but offers Overgaardian milieu for nice shots.

Some various trees that I have spotted while sitting on the bus or tram, and jotted the places down for checking later.

Good work. Let your friends know that cherry blossoms are Kool
Thanks. This (Traverse City) is home to The National Cherry Festival each year. It's a two week long event the first part of July that brings tourists from around the world. Top name bands and acts come to town and different competitions (beach volleyball, air dog, etc) are well attended, as is the beer tent. It also happens to coincide with July4th celebrations which include fireworks and airshows by the Thunderbirds or Blue Angels. In short, it's a tourist traffic nightmare for the locals and we avoid it like the plague. (except for the air show) This year promises to be one of the biggest, due to the pent up demand from lockdowns and restrictions cancelling or severely curtailing events the last few years.
