白色櫻花戀 Cherry Blossom Festival in DC

1912年日本送給美國三千棵櫻花樹,種在美國首都華盛頓特區(DC)。
可是日本人很厲害地,並沒有送出最美的品種到美國和番,所以DC這兒的櫻花可不是想像中的粉紅嬌豔。不過數大就是美,淺粧粉白的櫻花也別有一番風情。就來個美式賞櫻吧!

Three thousand cherry trees were bestowed on Washington, DC by Tokyo, Japan in 1912.
Now it is the time for Cherry Blossom Festival, let's go for a short trip and have a taste of cherry watch in American style.


伸展的枝枒,迎向陽光,迎向自由,也護衛著遊人。

好個風和日麗,遊人如織,花粉也多到讓人嗆鼻地無法忽略。
A branch extended to the sunshine and sought for freedom.
Year after year, it has grown to become a strong arm guarding people.
What a beautiful sunny day!
So many tourists were there and pollens, too.

藍天為幕,花朵成雲。

別走得太匆忙嘛!
Hey! Don't hurry.

好好坐下來,甚至躺下來,才是美式悠閒啊!
Take your time to sit down even to lie down under cherry blossoms.
This is the way how Americans spend their leisure time.    

最後別忘了跟大牙籤(The Washington Monument)
來個到此一遊照,才算功德圓滿。
Don't forget to take a picture with the giant toothpick to show off your trip.
1912-2012,正好一百年啦!
