I would love to see that Cherry Blossom Festival! Fantastic image and info Michelle!!
The layered fog was actually a little dangerous to drive in as you could drive in and out of these fog levels. Some at ground level, some higher, off the ground 10ft plus. #10977377

The beauty of the cherry blossoms would be such a treat itself, but along with that you get this beautiful festival and what a thrill it must be. Certainly a chance to get a lot of lovely pictures like this one. Awesome work Michelle. #10977433
