Sakura Fever

I just can't get enough of sakura eventhough it has been 2 months since I came back from my epic trip to Japan. First trip to many more to come, hopefully and I am already thinking of going back there again next year during sakura season.

Arashiyama 嵐山, Kyoto

If not for the frozen state, I think most of the flowers would be gone in a week after full...
