This year, cherry blossoms in Tokyo have lasted longer than usual due to the cold weather, but time is up for them.

In this picture, the whole flower at the centre is cut off from the branch by a sparrow or other bird.

Sparrows and other small birds do this. They know where sweet honey is.

One of the pics I took two years ago:
This colour doesn't last long. It is called "桜色 sakura iro", or cherry colour, in Japanese. (I hate to see the Japanese word "ピンク pink" is used to describe this. This is not ピンク, though it belongs to pink shades. )

On the 1st April 2010, YouTube announced "TEXTp". Read about it in English, or you may prefer 日本語; I think other languages versions are available.
I happened to be reading a Times article on a man called Don Justo and his Cathedral for Our Lady of the Pillar (amazing), so I put his name in youtube's search box and found this superb documentary/art film. Then I clicked on the TEXTp button, and ... WOW.
