still exist?

I thought Sakura has been gone for this year, represent no beautiful flowers will exist anymore on the road. There ought to be one week from now since the blossom from Sakura has gone, changing with a normal flower, which is green in colour. Maybe, some of the people who do not know about sakura wonder how its look like, so look at this picture.

The flowers is filled with white colour, making all place look very beautiful whether on the road or park once in a year. When the flower is changing to white, they seem said as 'mankai', the process where the flower come out again. Just around 3 weeks, as I can saw in my place, the blossom will fade away and loss from Japan, making preparation for coming event for the next year. In some case, student start to study in University as Sakura is a symbol of starting lecture in Universities. This is means if the Sakura comes early, the the lecture start early and vise versa.Absolutely, Sakura will start to grow from upper region to lower region in Japan.

To prove the analogy , some examples can be shown as Tokyo starts Lecture early rather than Osaka.In this year, If I was not mistaken, there are Universities in Tokyo start the lecture on  7, 8 April, whereas in Kansai region, such as Kyoto or Osaka on 11 April. Although the differences were not too high, but it indicates the analogy is still true.

Yet,  yesterday...

along the way for lunch, suddenly I saw a beautiful, fantastic flowers are arranged on the road and making me stopped on the road to think for a while. "Is the sakura still exist? or this is just a normal flower..only that is not realised for a year.." that are some of my unanswerable questions, leaving in my mind. Although the colour is not white, it is red or pink or whatever, but until now, what I realised, the beautiful of nature still exist around my surrounding, at any time.
