Excellent!!  In Washington DC they have a Cherry Blossom Festival.

I was thinking only yesterday that in London this seems a much underrated annual event - sudden, astonishing, and transforming.

It's very much not yet over, Pam. I was taking some snaps on Tottenham Green just this lunchtime (9 April).

Or perhaps it's different in your more southerly lattitude? Nah. So dust off your camera and sun hat and start adding to Liz's Flickr Blossoms.

P.S. Tottenham Green. Not as lusciously colourful as Liz's photos.

Maybe we should have some hanami parties next year. With plenty of sake.

Shall we start our hanami in Downhills Park where the blossom is breathtaking? (click on picture to view large)

At the request of a fellow blossom fan, there is now a Flickr Group, just for pictures of blossom in Haringey. Join me and share your pictures
