I visited the pink hanami at Roihuvuori Cherry Park that was grounded by the initiative of
Japan born Helsinki entrepreneur Norio Tomida and the
first 52 cherry trees were planted
on World Environment Day in 2007.
Now there are over 150 Prunus sargentii trees in the park.Last weekend the park was packed with people, saw on the news. Even on Wednesday afternoon
there were crowds of people enjoying this pink hanami and sunshine.
Everybody was taking photos, included myself.
Happy Spring Weekend!

Thank you Anne for your nice word. The Finnish text is correct.
Poistawe lived near Washington DC and used to go to the city for the cherry blossoms. It was magical, changing the colors to pink white and blue (skies) made everything feel possible.Your pictures capture the feel and remind me of nicer times
