Japanese/Canadian Friendship

On the very ordinary - in fact, ugly - walk to Cherry Beach, there is an unprepossessing knoll, a small park, with a collection of young cherry trees.




The story is explained here. Thank you, Japan!




Once up close, I was in ecstacy. The soft clouds, the deep blue of the sky we could see, and the profusion of blossoms... I couldn't leave for a long time.
