Today's theme is Flower Festivals so I looked up some nice festivals I could draw and saw that there is one in Japan called the Kawazu Sakura festival.
The cherry blossom (Sakura) trees bloom around April, some earlier. When they do, people visit the town of Shizuoka prefecture on the Izu Peninsula. There are about 8,000 Sakura trees there. They line a path where tourists can stroll at their leisure. This leads up to the Kawazu River where you can listen to the soothing sounds of the flowing water. The best time to visit would be early-March, when the peak season begins.
This is a pic of the place:
My drawing is inspired by this lane of cherry blossom trees. I was imagining what it must feel to walk here, among the beautiful flowers, all bundled up nice and warm, with a hot drink.

Aaahh such a perfect timing! Sakura festivals are around the corner! I’m so excited to go to one!
In love with the beautiful views of Japan. Hanggang drawing nalang ako. It must be great to see the Sakura trees in person!
It is really amazing to see the Sakura tree in person! Personally, I hate color pink but I just can’t hate Sakura. I always go on a Sakura festival hopping during the blooming season and I’m so excited!
This is an example of one.
My goooosh! #goals kaayo nik! You're so lucky!

My friend Akiko goes every year to enjoy the cherry blossom. Your girl has a lovely walk. She will smell the perfume :)
Awww, that's so cool. I really want to see them for myself one day.
Love it all @noellesevilla, story and art. I can just imagine the sweet smell of the cherry blossoms 🌸 walking through a tunnel of pink and green. Wouldn’t it seem like you’d just died and gone to heaven. Another “ bucket list” dream ahhh. In the fall my husband and I love to ride bikes on trails with overhanging thick trees that seems like your riding through a tunnel of vibrant colors of bright orange, yellow, red green, of many shades.soooooo gorgeous, I love the outdoors and R.V camping!
That's so sweet Deb, biking through a colorful autumn lane with your husband! Yes visiting Japan is definitely on my bucketlist too!
Love this post. Does the girl have a name?
Wala pa. Di ko naisip. Haha.
