Cherry Blossom time in Japan is celebrated throughout the country. Visiting family in Kobe, Japan has allowed me to see the full cycle of one of the most beautiful and sacred treasures of Japan. For three weeks I have been able to enjoy these colorful and aromatic blossoms. Today, as I walked along the Rokko Island trail I had to stop and take one last picture of these magnificent flowers. These simple blossoms have touched my heart and soul and made this trip one of the most memorable experiences of my life.
