Soon I'll Be a Flower

I had to do the obligatory cherry blossom shot -- they are in bloom and it's hard not to be cheerful, seeing all the flowers and color at last. This one is from the cherry tree in Junko and Bill's garden, showing stages from small buds to full flowers. Spring has arrived in full force!
