The cherry blossoms look like fairies dancing on the water.

This is a beautiful composition, Gabriela. The tree offers its beautiful reflection and then adds its blossoms to the mix as well like a natural Photoshop layering. A glorious image.

All those pictures are really nice Gabriella. Are the cherry blossoms allready blooming in Yokohama? Here there are just starting.

@akarui: Yes, it has started...the big craziness is coming! Yesterday I took a tour in the neighbourhood and I couldn't believe my eyes: some in full blom, others halfway and....gorgeous peach trees (momo) garlanded from top to bottom in pink! All of a sudden there was an outburst! Unfortunately, today it is windy and rather cold, not a good weather for shooting as everything is moving! I also saw a huge Magnolia tree (haku mokuren) completely in bloom!
Well, I see them every year, but they always surprise me these flowers with their exuberant joy for life!
Why, Kagoshima is late? It should have been past the period of blooming????!!!!

Bonjour Gabriela,
Vos photos chantent la beauté et me donnent le plaisir de vous écrire :
Voyez l’oiseau
qui effleure
le temps,
la fleur
qui palpite
sa beauté,
la clarté
qui distrait
l’obscurité,
l’abeille
qui se jette
sur la vie,
ils sont
l’expression
de celle
que j’aime.
Bien à vous et douce journée printanière, amicalement, Mary.

The elegant beauty of this tree arching over the water brings great delight and awe to the viewer. I look forward to our own cherry trees blossoming with even greater anticipation. Beautifully captured Gabriela.

Gorgeous shot. It is easy to see why Japanese painting has the style that it does. Stunning.

Wow. Beautiful capture! I can't believe it's already blooming. There's still a week to go until the craziness begins down here in Kyoto.
