Bright colors emerges and brightens everyone's day.
The sun seems smiling all the time.
Life seems brighter, lighter and milder. And everywhere you look is very beautiful and colorful.

The Yoshino Cherry Trees originated from Japan and was given to the US as a gesture of friendship and celebration of the explosion of Spring in 1912. Cherry Blossom Festival are celebrated each year both by Washington D.C. and Macon, Georgia. The festival originated from Japan called "Cherry Blossom Viewing" where each year the Japanese people awaits the blossoming of the trees, upon the blossoming, families gather underneath the Cherry trees in joyful celebration for family pinics picnics, cultural activities. The National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington D.C.is an annual celebration of welcoming Spring.
