Spring heat wave causes flower explosion!

Cherry blossoms at BBG
I highly recommend going before this weekend
(the official Sakura Matsuri festival),
as the crowds get intense.

Also, the blooms are at their peak right now as you can see.

Don't miss the lilacs which are just coming into bloom and smell heavenly.


I wanted to put my feet in the stream like this red-tailed hawk.

WOW! These images are amazing - thanks for posting them. I've been checking the cherry-blossom map every few days and it looks like most of the trees went into peak bloom almost over night. We haven't been able to go yet, we were hoping to go this weekend but now the forecast is saying rain. I bet it was really cool to see that hawk too.
