A Moment in Time

Keeping with the spirit of traveling in a rush, after Hong Kong I went to 武汉 to see the cherry blossoms.
They were still in bloom, and quite beautiful.

I realise, though, that catching a single glimpse shouldn't really count as 赏花. Rather, to really 赏花 would entail having seen the buds start to appear, and then bloom, and the blossoms finally wither and fall. Not just a single glimpse of the flowers frozen at a single point in time. Especially with cherry blossoms, which are supposed to be symbolic of transience ...

But I couldn't stay so long, even though I had awesome company. Mostly because I had to get back to skiving around at the school work.
