Everyone loves cherry blossoms and New Zealanders are no different. They have been in bloom everywhere. A couple here in Wellington travelled to Japan and fell in love with cherry blossoms. They decided to create their own blossoms paradise. We went off to their farm, which they had landscaped and into lovely garden. It was just like we were in D.C. again–too many people talking, too many kids running amok, and too many people climbing trees and stomping on roots when they shouldn’t, all while others were trying to enjoy trees that call for quiet meditation. It just proves that people are obnoxious no matter where in the world you are. Well, we didn’t let that spoil our forest bathing. Here are some pics:
in gardens all over the Wellington Kapiti Coast area.
