Sakura in Hong Kong

 

Was invited by Anna to Cheung Chau for the Sakura.  We have Sakura in Hong Kong!  I can’t remember the history of the only Sakura tree here, but undoubtedly it is always surrounded with people when it blossoms.  It was so incredible, it also shows how much Hong Kong people love following the smoke.

People, people, people.  I wonder how do they get to know about the tree too.  It was easy for me to answer, obviously Anna lives in Cheung Chau and she knows all about the tree.

 

The truth is, I didn’t think the tree looked like the *real* Japanese Sakura.  I still don’t think it does.  It must have been one of the species.

 

I’ve got a few nice pictures… and here they come!

They look alike because they are my pictures!

 

The whole time I thought about how to take nicer pictures.  I noted their pattern of growth, they blossom in bunches and that they have really nice curves.  And the whole time we ate.  We ate, we ate and we ate, we had snacks and drinks, seafood dinner, desserts, then was invited to Häagen-Dasz for dessert again!  Life is just beautiful, what more can I ask for?

My day was a bliss!

 

P.S. I had accidentally adjusted my camera with EV-3, thus all the pictures looked kind of overexposed.  I suppose they have their own of beauty, yeah?
