I'm celebrating the arrival of the cherry blossom! It's over two weeks late and probably the last to flower in the country because I live high up on the Pennine hills.
Cherry blossom is central to Japanese culture and it's arrival is eagerly awaited as a herald of warmer weather. It is the custom to picnic underneath the billowing clouds of blossom.
My tree is only a small one but it's flowers are just as welcome. I've created my own homage to the lovely confetti-like petals using magazine pictures to give tonal variations.
