I know there are things that bloom here in Vegas, but until you've seen a MASSIVE display of the most gorgeous trees blooming all at once EVERYWHERE in an entire city, there's just nothing to compare it to. Even Seattle in bloom was nothing like Tokyo in bloom, and I used to think Seattle was the most beautiful city anywhere!

It's quite stunning .Absolutely Tokyo!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06956678063071700048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452624.post-79313260749645163372008-04-10T10:05:00.000-07:002008-04-10T10:05:00.000-07:00You just need to pay attention to the details (or ...You just need to pay attention to the details (or look at the bigger yards).

Then come the smaller flowers, then the sage. But at least we always have the sunshine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
