Actually a bit late in the season if anything. Plum blossoms (ume, 梅) are normally mid-February to mid-March, and cherry blossoms (sakura, 桜) are mid-March to mid-April.

I'm going to post a couple of pictures taken by my late wife while she was on trips to Kenya and Uganda where the NGO she was working with was trying to stem another pandemic, HIV. I still find these images uplifting and optimistic, even in these dark days.

Those are awesome photos! How I wish it's safe to travel now. But we have to patiently wait til everything is back to normal. I miss taking pictures.
