Survivors in the areas hardest hit by Japan’s devastating 2011 tsunami find the courage to revive and rebuild as cherry blossom season begins. A stunning visual poem about the ephemeral nature of life and the healing power of Japan’s most beloved flower.
The film was nominated for Best Documentary Short Subject at the 2012 Academy Awards.
Cherry trees are so beautiful in autumn with their leaves turning yellow and orange.
This picture was taken yesterday on Homer street, between Dunsmuir and West Georgia.

Cherry blossoms in September! Strolling on Granville street this week-end, I noticed this beautiful window display with cherry branches. I just had to stop and take a picture (Lavan, Body Mind and Soap, 840 Granville).
Those cherry blossoms made me very nostalgic. Don’t you miss seeing the city in pink?
“Autumn is a second spring, when every leaf is a flower” Albert Camus (1913-1960)
