Watching the Cherry Blossom
How do you do? My name is pl9.
The theme this year is ‘a Japanese scene’ so I have used the motif of cherry blossom.
Japanese cherry trees really are beautiful.
It gives me a warm feeling to think of the way in which they have been carefully raised by gardeners in order to bring a smile to everybody’s face.
The girl is looking this way as if she wants to play. Please feel free to play with her if you like.
