Yo.Za.Ku.Ra (Night Sakura) in Manhattan

Well, it seems the weather is getting nicer and nicer these days. When I visited Central Park about a week ago (on March 30th), it still looked and felt like winter than spring. Here is the proof.



And this was taken in my area in NJ on the same day.



But, when I visited Manhattan yesterday I saw 30%~50% of Sakura buds already opened on Upper East side, and Upper West 80% of them already blooming. It is strange...I used to live in Manhattan for several years. But, this might be the first time I really appreciated Sakura blossoms on the streets of NY. So, I had to take some pictures.
