Just because I wanted to see Cherry Blossoms! =D
I saw an announcement in Facebook about the Sakura Festival in Auburn Botanic Garden here in Oz. Being a Japanese obsessed fan, seeing cherry blossoms for real (not on TV or picture) is included on my bucket list. At that time, all I can think of is "its now or never". My solution? Taking my niece to an impromptu outing to Auburn.
Lovely bird (?) that you will see upon entering the garden.
The garden doesn't have a lot of sakura tree, just a short pathway lined with them. But at least, I SAW REAL SAKURA.. =D
