The sakura (cherry blossoms) are in bloom on the quad at the University of Washington!  I was there Tuesday, and they were at their peak.  The sky was blue, the sun was shining, and the effect of the very pale pink blossoms was awesome.

Imagine the blue of the sky, the warmth of the sun, the pale pink of the flowers and the buzz of the bees.

You just about have it.  The fragrance was almost imperceptible.

Lots of people were out walking among the trees, taking pictures, or sitting on the grass below the petals.  It was a glorious day!

The UW campus has never looked more beautiful!

Sayonara!
