Sakura And The Sky

According to the website Behindthename.com:

SAKURA

GENDER: Feminine
USAGE: Japanese
OTHER SCRIPTS: 桜, 咲良 (Japanese)
PRONOUNCED: sah-koo-ṙah   [key]

Meaning & History

From Japanese 桜 "cherry blossom", though it is often written さくら using the hiragana writing system. It can also come from 咲 (saku) "blossom" and 良 (ra) "good". (Source HERE)

I took more than a hundred photos when we visited the Cherry Blossoms.

Believe me, there's no wrong angle when the views are as beautiful as these.

    amazing photos my dear.
    Well, here in Norway, I still have to wait for my cherry blossoms since it still snowing from time to time.

    First time to visit your blog, nice shot of sakura. We were in DC last month but there's no sakura yet. I miss seeing sakura during spring season. THanks for sharing.

      Thank you for visiting. The sakura bloomed late this year due to the colder temps. I hope you'll come back next year.
