In full bloom

How would you like to live your life? Bright, beautiful but brief like the Sakura petals you see in the picture, or like a leaf of any common shrub, long life but dull and hardly noticeable?

@Patty the first option please.

Gorgeous

How about long(ish) life but not dull and unnoticeable (bit like Tokyo Tower- we are about the same age).......

The Japanese people see people's lives are like Sakura petals: short live, enduring rain and wind, and beautiful.

Beautiful capture.

Ahhhhh really beautiful.

Cool !!...looks like a lovely day also.
