Cherry Blossoms, Kanazawa Castle and the Moat

Beautiful Cherry Blossoms...

We will do a proper Cherry Blossom post but just wanted to share the magic of one pic in the meantime.

When the snow melts I feel a major sense of loss but when the Cherry Blossom season starts it brightens my day. This year we went to Kanazawa for Hanami (花見 - Cherry Blossom Viewing), yep they have a word for it.

It was totally perfect weather and it couldn't have lifted our spirits more!
