My husband liked the idea that even this toddler was ready to pose for a souvenir shot with the blooming cherries, so...when the mother snapped her mobile, he did the same with his camera. Shot was taken on one of the walkway bridges that cross over the main road. Temperetaure is today only 9 deg.C and the sky is cloudy, rain has been forecast for this evening. Hope it doesn't ruin the flowers!

Bonjour Gabriela,
Une photo pour la photo qui m'offre la joie de vous écrire :
Parlez, dites «cheese», et tout stupéfait, l’enfant, de vous entendre vous enverra un sourire, et dans l’onde qui flotte dans l’air, le bonheur s’installera.
Ainsi vit l’innocence, emportant et blanchissant nos coeurs de sa subtile et inconsciente pureté, tout comme l’oiseau qui dans l’air spacieux aperçoit enfin le rivage et crie joyeux : Terre !
Parlez, dites «cheese», et votre coeur sourira de bon coeur.
Bien à vous, et bon dimanche, amicalement, Mary. © La Poétaniste

Really like this -- an excellent example of street photography at its best. Delightful.

Yes, miserable down here... lots of blossoms on the ground although trees aren't in full bloom...

What a sweet little girl. But she is not quite convinced yet of saying "cheese".

That is a great shot. I have met many Japanese teens here to improve their English and they all love getting the picture taken. It is like a national joy.

I love the child's expression. It makes me smile. A super image, Gabriela.

C’est toujours adorable un souvenir de notre enfant , ou l’enfant et naturel de beauté , il reste dans l’album ou un jour il se verra tout petit, les années passe , mais l’enfance reste en nous.

Beautiful flowers!

Ohhhhh, I wish my knees would allow me to squat as Yoshiyuki does! Great capture, Gabriela of him taking the shot of the child.

@Judy: Yoshiyuki did not have to squat, he was the witness standing aside while the mother was taking the shot of the child. He just had to click!
Very cute picture! In Holland we have the same kind of weather, fearing for the blossoms and getting bored by always that overcoat we have to put on when going out :)
