Ohanami
"Hana" is blossom.
"Mi" is derived from the verb "to look".
This last week has been the season of sakura, or the cherry blossom. With Jeff's love for macrophotography, three great Ohanami opportunities and the patience of our hosts--we bring you a taste of spring in Japan.
(We have also been requested multiple times that these pictures be sent to our friends and family in America. Our Japanese friends are very proud of their cherry blossoms and would also like you to take note of the gift of the blossoms to America over a hundred years ago--now showing at the Potomac, Maryland....)
ps. For the record, after the night time ohanami view of the afore-mentioned slide, Mary Ellen gives it a bit of a thumbs up.

beautiful.
Splendid cheery blooms Jeff. Macro photo is a kick, I've been at it myself recently. Japan, bye the way has put out a seriously fabulous Macro cam in the Oly E-330. Great times to be into photography. Cheers, Seth
