Cherry Blossom Festival,Sakura Matsuri,at Brooklyn Botanical Garden





A beautiful sunny Saturday



so we set out for Brooklyn along with large numbers of others lured by the thoughts of


cherry blossom


and people dressed up in costumes


all playing under the shadowy trees.


People of all ages....families



lots of elegant young ladies


all greeting the season.



A reflection - but really too crowded to reflect much


but fun to look for fishes


and floating blossoms


and moments of peace......

  3. Lovely photos.
    Son living in Japan has been sending me photos of the trees in bloom.
    Nothing better then sitting under them and have a meal.

  4. Elizabeth, you've brought back some beautiful Brooklyn memories of visiting this festival.

    In another month or so, the amazing rose garden should be in full performance. The scent and colors...wow!

  5. That blossom! What a contrast to even a month ago. It's sunny here too at last....

  6. No cherry blossoms here, too hot/cold, but it looks very pretty there.

  7. So much colour and delight found in this visit. The pond of Koi with the cherry blossom debris has a certain magic to it, I find. Very Zen in the middle of the surrounding zany.
