Sakura

It's spring at last and the cherry tree is flowering! When I picked the colour for the workshop I was looking forward to seeing the cherry blossom against it. Decorating while thinking of the photos you're going to take, yes. And yes, I know, it's a fruiting cherry so it's not what people normally call sakura, but it might as well be ornamental.
