photography and something else
Spring blossom at Saint Petersburg’s Botanical Garden.
Every year in early May sakura trees (and other trees of course) start to bloom intensively. Lots of people gather around them trying to catch the moments of pink happiness.
Here are moments of my “sakura hanami” from May 2015. I hope you’ll enjoy it and it will bring peace to your heart.

Oh, the spring and its sweet unrealistic promises of beautiful future. I walked around St. Petersburg’s Botanical Garden during the most romantic time of the year (back in 2014).
And, of course, beautiful sakura stood out from others. Sakura is often elusive – every year one tries to predict its bloom according to the weather forecasts and magical rituals in order to see it (before the crowds of other people), and of course tries to catch it in its short blossoming period.
1. Spring sky and the sakura trees.
Spring in the Botanical Garden (in any botanical garden) always looks good – a variety of early flowers wakes up around, the air seems clearer and more romantic than ever.
1. I want to be distracted by something beautiful, and what can be more beautiful than flowers? This is Erica Carnea (the Winter Heath) attacking me with its crazy pink flowers.
There’s a small spot on Ligovsky Avenue in Saint Petersburg called the Chinese Garden of Friendship, where every spring you can watch several pink blossoming cherry trees. Hundreds of local people and tourists come here to take selfies with the blooming cherry trees or photos of these cute little flowers, and of course I did the same thing.
