Isn't this pretty?










Cherry blossom is a celebrated event in Japan. It marks the beginning of spring and last merely 7 to 10 days before the petals fall and scatter all over the ground. Although shortlived, cherry blossom is part of Japan's national identity. Japanese do not feel sad over these sakuras short lifespan. Instead, they embrace and celebrate them while they last. And why wouldn't you? These flowers are so beautiful.

Note: These pictures were taken in Yokohama, Japan.

Indeed, life is beautiful. It's all about our mindset. If i could be happy, why than choose to be sad. Make the best of our every seconds.
