Cherry blossoms are the most popular tree in Korea and Japan. There's a Cherry Blossom festival every Spring in downtown Seoul. I'm going with Grace and her family next Saturday. I'm pretty excited about it, and about getting lots of pictures. I have no idea what all happens, but I imagine there are a lot of beautiful trees. Anyway, the trees in Juk Jeon just blossomed today, and as I was walking tonight I got some photos. Unfortunately, they aren't all that clear. I tried to get the moon through the branches, but it didn't show up. Then, I tried to get a cross through the branches and again it didn't show up. I'm going to try again tomorrow, before it gets totally dark, but for now this is all I have.
For your reading pleasure, I here submit some haikus.
1:
Seen through branches your mercy
Glints off car windows
Among the growing moonlight
2:
Waxing moon speeds us towards
Your resurrection
The blooming of salvation
3:
Cherry blossoms dance off her
Strolling through orchards
Her back is all I will see
