Headed out this last weekend with a friend to try and get some good sakura (cheery blossom) pictures in Kyoto. Day started at 5:45am, and ended at about 9pm. Good day all in all, and lots of fun for sure. C&C always welcome!

    Wow, great set. I especially love 2, 5, and 7.

    #5 looks like it would beat running by the Charles in Boston haha.

    These are just gorgeous!! I was in Kyoto a few years ago in early fall, but spring looks like an even prettier time to be there. These bring back lots of memories (particularly the bamboo trails near Arashiyama?). Heading to your site now... :)
