Come every spring, I would look forward very much to my neighbour’s garden because he has this huge cherry tree which never fails to flower en masse into lovely, pinkish-sweet cherry blossoms. This luxurious display of cherry blossoms would last for probably two weeks at most before the petals slowly dry up and shed its glory. Those cherry blossoms always have me gazing lovingly at them whenever I stroll pass his garden but this year, out of whatever reasons unbeknownst to me, he decided to chop down the whole cherry tree .

Fortunately I’ve found out from friends that there is this garden in Schwetzingen which has a whole park full of cherry trees!!Now I understand why the Japanese have this Sakura flower viewing culture because I could really imagine myself spending the whole afternoon under the cherry blossoms, admiring these fleeting beauty.Although it was a rather cold spring day, I was thankful that at least the sun was being generous and the baby-blue sky was adorned with a few puffy but harmless white clouds. It was really a such a pretty sight to behold especially with these sea of white and yellow daffodils fighting for their own attention from the visitors as well.I’ll definitely be returning next spring and secure myself a seat under the cherry trees and have my share of flower viewing .
