With friends just having returned from Japan and raving about Hanami (花見: flower viewing) and others posting their Hanami photos on facebook, I began digging in my own memory box.
Hanami and the wheels of time
This photo was taken on the island of Kyushu in 1993, when it was just the two of us.
Baby Thomas and cherry blossoms
By April 1994, there were three of us. The following year, we took Thomas on his first Hanami outing. Having been such a drooling baby, he attracted so many Sakura (cherry) blossoms which would neatly stick to his chin and throat.
I do miss this time of year in Japan.
