Cherries are red.

Cherry blossom season is here. Viewing the delicate flower is a seasonal excuse in Japan for friends, family and colleagues to get together and enjoy food and beers underneath the full bloom of sakura.

The early flowering cherry blossoms are in full bloom!

By nightfall, most of the city was burning.

Life shall be clearer than the noonday. Though there is darkness, it shall be as the morning.

And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
