I love cherry blossoms so much... it's the time here where I live too... It starts blooming on plum blossoms and then to the cherry ones. We eve have cities in sisterhood with Japan. Hanami is the tradition of watching flowers and in old times they used to partake a drink to honour the kami or spirit in the tree. I made a cover of the Sakura Blossoms . About not taking photos of yourself, you're healing, and remember seasons flow and spring come again. So there will be waiting.
