Hanami

It’s not my first hanami ever (well, not really a "hanami" like in Japan… but considering it’s hanami which literally means "flower viewing" — hana = flower; mi = watch, see, view — I could say that yes, it’s hanami ). I went to see sakura years back in High Park, Toronto with my bestfriend, Tigin.

Yes, today I had a better hanami in downtown DC (got off at the Museum of Natural History to buy that cute "cherry blossom" t-shirt ;), then walked along the Mall towards Washington Monument and then end up at the Jefferson Memorial… such a loooong walk, eh?). It wasn’t really a great day to view sakura… it was soooo overcast! I had to put my camera on "flash mode" all the time to get a better result… But it’s cool ‘coz I brought some spare batteries, JIC .

Washington Monument and Sakura…

And then around 1pm… here comes the rain! Time to go home…

Ugh, now I feel soooo tired. Both my legs are sooo sore due to such a looong walk today . I’m sooo out of shape … mulai battala’ karena keenakan tinggal di rumah . Oh well… it’s time to start exercising again!
