We have been enjoying "Sakura"; the time when the cherry trees bloom signaling that winter is over.
It is very typical for the people to come out to the parks for "hanami"- to watch and take pictures of the cherry trees.
This year people were showing "restraint" in their celebrations due to the suffering that the people in the north are experiencing. Usually you would find it difficult to find a spot to have your lunch.
This is our bento lunch that we picked up at a store before going to the park.
This is either a late bloomimg plum tree or a cherry tree that is not of the Japanese variety.
As the country is settling into a "new normal", we are reminded of the Hope we have through the renewal of the seasons.

Thank you for posting these photos of the beautiful spring and your smiling faces! I'll be preaching the Palm Sunday story today - God meets us in the place between celebration and suffering!
God bless you, Martin and Julia!
