Sakura And The Sky

According to the website Behindthename.com:

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

Meaning & History

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

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