  1. This looks like sooo much fun. I was hoping to find a fest like this in the next few weeks but who knows what the weather will bring (or freeze or flood). You even found Alice In Wonderland (here we have Alice In Dairyland at all the festivals).
    I used to love Sapporo, light but flavorful. The cherry blossoms are so pretty.
    We managed to pick the worst time to see our first Brewer game in a few days, but luckily it's 50 percent off and comes with the Vodka Skyy lounge.

  4. ...such an exciting and colorful time. I was out in a park this morning, the cherries are budding, but it will be a while until they flower. Thanks for the visit.

  18. I thought this was going to be in Japan, but not! Looks like a lot of fun. Blossoms anywhere are lovely. My grandmother brought me back one of those dolls decades ago - I loved it so much.

  22. This looks like it would have been great fun. I spent a couple of years in Japan in my early 20s and seeing cherry blossom in the spring always makes me feel nostalgic #abitofeverything

  32. I didn't know San Francisco had a cherry blossom festival, Patrick! I'm excited to learn about it, and I loved the pictures. There is just something about cherry blossoms that says spring in such a way you can't help but be happy, isn't there?! Thank you so much for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party. Have a lovely week!
