More Cherry Blossom Photos...and a Few From the Spring Festival in Matsuyama Too

I know, I know...I promised an explanation about "Hanami" in a previous post, but I just haven't had to time to sit down and write anything more meaningful then "People take walks with friends/family and have picnics under the cherry trees." So here are some pictures of people taking walks with friends/family and having picnics under the cherry trees. Sorry, it'll just have to do for now.

Please notice the funny picture of the pigeon enjoying the cherry blossoms. It was so cute! I watched this pigeon amble leisurely along the sakura path, taking in the spectacular views, for a good six minutes before a noisy group of picnic-ers startled it.

There are also a few photos of Haru Matsuri in Matsuyama city too.
