Sakura (Cherry Blossoms)

Oh oh!. They are here!

They are a bit early but it's all good. Spring is here already. Some of the first blossoms this year.

D7000 + Nikon 105mm f2.8 VR (hand-held)

PS: Don't mind me, I'm just rubbing it in. LOL!

Sigh so pretty

Without any doubt these are great photos

WE need weather and cherry blossom updates weekly.

Beautiful shots

Please keep them coming! Beautiful shots.

And I know how you feel. I am the same way with the dogwoods.

Thanks Don and No problem.

Slightly clowdy in the morning. Low 36 deg F high at 45 deg F. Light sweater or jacket is recommended.

This is one of the season that my wife hates due to pollen allergy season for her.

If you guys are interested, I've consolidated all of my sakura pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Edited: In 3 weeks time or so, this is how it will look like once they are in full bloom.

Fantastic Glenn, keep them coming.

Maybe you'll get your D800 back before the full bloom? I'm hoping for you...

I almost didn't "like" them because of the fact that you are taking our summer away from us….

Can a moderator be banned for excessive amounts of "Rubbing it in?" Hmmm? Excellent photos!

I'm hoping so too Marcel. I do miss the high resolution of that camera. I was able to use it last spring and it performed very well as expected.

It could be worse compared to the east coast in the U.S.

Most bloom around the end of March up to the 2nd week of April.

Thanks Glen! Beautiful video and images. It reminds me there is hope! After yesterday it was needed. We had a nasty storm here.
