IMG_1025 Expect the unexpected

A cool sunny mid-day last Monday 4/5, I was with my 8 year old daughter outside and mother's instinct took over me. I told her we will both take a walk and side by side we stroll with no particular place in mind. I said, "Mommie wants to take some pictures somewhere..." and my daughter reluctantly agreed... I was expecting the usual sceneries of white sakuras amidst the busy city where I live in...

 

Out of nowhere, these rare pink flowers greeted me... I said its "rare" because its not as abundant as the white sakura. These are another breed of sakura, I supposed.

A few days from now, these blossoms will say goodbye to me... glad I found these one before its totally gone.

 

I just dont know why Im so over enthusiastic about sakura, that made me want to go to the parks almost everyday. I secretly cursed @#&%!!! when it rained every now and then, limiting my hanami (flower viewing) mood, while wishing that nature wouldnt destroy another work of nature...

 

Sakura and its 3 weeks lifespan... will have to say goodbye to them in a few days. Another year of hanami is over. Thanks for the oppurtunity to be able to view them this year. *sigh*
