空いっぱい 舞う花びらや 残桜(ざんさくら)

Even on this morning’s TV, it seems that cherry blossoms are in full bloom nationwide and crowds of people are flocking to enjoy the blossoms. Despite the harsh winter cold this year, spring came suddenly, and it seems that the dormancy break has worked, as every cherry blossom tree is beautiful. After three years of waiting, the joy of flower viewing exploded, and every flower viewing spot is overflowing with people, making the beauty of cherry blossoms even more prominent. Fortunately, many foreign tourists can be seen everywhere. Yesterday, I went to a nearby park for the last cherry blossom viewing. The cherry blossoms here have already bloomed in full and the cherry blossom petals have been beginning falled, and the young leaves are prominent. For some reason, many sparrows were there, flying around in the cherry blossoms. Many families with children and elderly people came, and everyone have been enjoying their last flower viewing of the year.

今朝のテレビを見ていても、全国的に桜が満開で花見客が押し寄せている様です。今年の桜は冬の寒さも厳しく、その割に急激に春が押し寄せたので、休眠打破が効いたのか、どこの桜も綺麗です。花見客も3年間の我慢が爆発し、どの花見会場も人が溢れていて、桜の美しさをいっそう際立たせています。嬉しいことに、どことも外国人観光客が沢山目に付きます。そんな中、昨日は最後の花見に近くの公園に行きました。ここの桜はもう咲き切って、葉桜が目立ちます。なぜかスズメが沢山来ていて、桜の中を飛び回っています。子供連れやお年寄りも沢山来ていて、どなたも今年最後の花見を楽しんでいました。
