Cherry Blossom Festival

So Yesterday I went into Philly for the Sakura Japanese Culture Festival at the Horticulture center. It was a very nice place, and I must say I enjoyed being there. There were a lot of people, some dressed as anime characters, and a lot with dogs, too. The trees were all very beautiful, they gave me a chance to get some great shots too, take a look!


NOM.


I love flowers and plants. I always take time to walk past the flowering dogwood by the Springhouse building because of the sweet-smelling flowers. There are lots of different flowering plants on our Campus. Purple lesser periwinkles grow in front of the Lares building. Between Lares and Springhouse there are grape hyacinths. Trout Lillies grow in the wooded places beside the stream, and everywhere that is damp one can find the little celandine blossoms. I'm really glad it's spring again because I love trying to identify as many plants as I can.

After we left the festival my friends and I went to Taco Bell, which is normally not a noteworthy experience, except for the fact that my friend Josh had never been to one before. It was pretty interesting to see someone curious about something that seemed so ordinary to me.
