Throughout Japan, the Cherry, or 'Sakura' tree is representative of good fortune, new beginnings and revival. Folklore says that when the Sakura spirits release their gorgeous fragrance in springtime, their gift of beauty and elegance is to be truly celebrated!

So many cherry trees and such beauty that they beg to be photographed every year.  But how do you create a different interpretation among so many photographs?  Here is an attempt.
