Much Ado About Everything

Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival has already started almost two weeks ago, but cherries are only now in full bloom at Burrard station where it usually opens.  However, there are many cherries in bloom around the city, it’s just that you may have to know where to look if you’re looking for early blossoms.  The most commonly found Yoshino trees are still not in bloom.  At any rate, there are plenty of blossoming cherries downtown.  My skills as a tree photographer are terrible and as you may notice, my Sony point and shoot is severely lacking as well; I didn’t want to drag my big camera as I had no idea I’d run into so many nice blossoms. Looking at the Festival website, these are Akebono cherries.
