Or, "Just Hanging Around"
Some weeping cherry blossoms today—shidarezakura (枝垂桜)—of type edohigan (江戸彼岸) I think. I'm far from a cherry blossom expert, but I learn a little more every year in conversations with other sakura watchers. If anyone knows better than me, please leave a comment telling me if I'm right or wrong.
I've been told this tree is a few hundred years old. The sakura on it only lasted a day or two before rain knocked them all down. Lucky I made it there in that time.
