Well, not yet.First step to summertime is always my favourite spring. Unlike Skippy’s Hanami @ Japan, its not as nice here but close enough – well, probably as close as I will ever get to a real hanami where families and friends have picnics under the sakura trees just to enjoy the pretty flowers. Imagine having a picnic in Malaysia under a bunga raya (hibiscus) plant..

Taken on my way back from work, need to try again for a brighter shot, the pinks are actually very pretty. I do miss having a cherry blossom tree right outside my bedroom window like in the old house

And of course, the blooming of my annuals!! I love tulips! Actually, I love most flowers that grows from bulbs, as they come back again and again every spring, and the bulbs usually multiply as well, so it come back better and bigger each year.

Of course the cat enjoys it as well – just like his blondie owner he loves basking in the sun and rolling around..
