a haiku inspiration for you

It's apparently the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival (and St. Patrick's Day too!) this March.

FINALLY... after what felt like an eternity of rain, ice, and grey skies... the cherry trees have started to blossom!

this morning, as the bus turned to the nearby bridal shop i always manage to stare at while the light is red, i noticed not only the sunshine, but the cherry blossoms right in front of its gates, lining up the streets. hmm... on second thought, even the cherry tree right outside our apartment building has started blossoming too!

finally, something to define Beautiful British Columbia (printed on all license plates - something that i have scoffed at the past winter).
