Photo of the Week: Cherry Blossom Dessert on China Airlines

I spent last week roaming around parts of Japan photographing the cherry blossoms, or sakura. It was my first time in Japan during the blooming period — what an amazing experience. On the way home, the Japanese menu dessert in Business Class was a mochi type sweet with a cherry blossom pattern on it. China Airlines logo incorporates the cherry blossom, so this was a nice touch — especially well-timed!
