I feel so lucky to be in a town where my regular cycle to work each morning takes me past twenty or thirty cherry trees. This means that every spring, for three or four fleeting weeks, I get to ride past beautiful sakura blossoms in all shades of pink. They're delightfully evocative, nostalgic even, due to the wonderful romantic associations from any number of anime or ren'ai games (most especially Season of the Sakura). Truly, in the spring a young man's fancy doth indeed lightly turn to thoughts of love.
(It also helps that two years ago, my then-girlfriend (now wife) and I went walking through a sakura-lined avenue and embraced under a tree in full blossom.)
And it's a superb month to be writing a NaNoRenO game
Does anyone else have any sakura coming out near them at the moment, or any fond memories of sakura?
