looking up to wintersweets under the blue sky and waiting for spring, originally uploaded by photoholic image.

Today, it was still very cold even after the sun reached and crossed over the celestial longitude of 315° that means after the day (Feb. 4th) of Risshun (立春） or Lichun in Mandarin. Risshun (立春） means the first day of spring in the traditional calender common in the East Asian countries like Japan, Taiwan, Korea and China. In Taiwan, the cherry blossoms are at their best and it is the climax in spring that can be seen on many wonderful photos uploaded by flickr friends in Taiwan.
However, at the place where I live, it is still mid-winter. I have to wait another two months for the cherry blossom.

Thank you for looking and wishing you all a happy Friday and weekend!!
