Brief Vision - a photo on Flickriver

Brief Vision

            A cherry blossom tree blooms for only about 10 days, and part of its hypnotic beauty is the knowledge that it will soon be gone. A Japanese ambassador to the U.S. once said that the cherry blossom is the only flowering tree where the petals fall to the ground when they're at their peak, not when they're faded or wilted.

The Japanese word natsukashi describes a nostalgic feeling of happiness tinged with sadness and is associated with cherry blossom season. In addition to being a time of renewal, it's a time of endings, too. 

In Vancouver, when rains can interrupt the blossoming, we make the very most of this special treat that says "Springtime!" and remember to cherish the moment.
