Cherry blossoms, just around the corner.

I'm Felicia from Aomori, Japan.
Aomori is a northernmost prefecture on Japan's main island, and in Aomori,
cherry blossoms are to bloom very shortly.

For those who can't wait for the best time to view blossoms, here are
some photos taken in Hirosaki Park (Hirosaki City) last year. 
The weather wasn't that good then, but cherry blossoms were still beautiful.

In this blog, I’ll introduce bits and pieces of something interesting, beautiful, yummy, funny, great and exciting in Aomori.  Hope someone gets interested in my loving hometown.
