Cherry Blossoms in Taiwan

The Cherry blossom is one of the most beautiful flowers that I’ve seen sprouting on a tree.  I  would love to go to Japan during the Cherry blossom season but I do not have the funds as this moment. I guess that I would have  to save up more before it could become a reality.

I’m lucky that I got to view the cherry blossoms when I was in Taiwan in Feburary this year.  It was the first time that I visited a Cherry blossom grove and it was a really magical experience for me.

I was lucky to be able to spot this bee buzzing near the flower and capture it with my camera.

I’m not sure what bird this is but I spotted it flying toward the flower looking for nectar.

I managed to see 3 different varieties of Cherry blossoms.   They were in white, light pink and dark pink.

Don’t they look lovely as a cluster of flowers on a tree.  White has to be my 2nd favourite out of all the varieties that I saw.

I visited Taiwan a bit late as most of the blooms have already dropped as it was nearly the end of the Cherry Blossom season.  If I was in Taipei a few weeks earlier I would have been able to see all the trees in full bloom. That would have certainly be awesome!!
