Cherry blossom x baby blue eyes

Cherry blossoms alone are a sight for sore eyes, but in addition there are various magical combinations. Seeing cherry blossoms combined with something else can make the scene even more aesthetic. One of the most famous combinations is a trio:  Chureito Pagoda beside cherry blossoms with Mt Fuji in the background. But even just coupled with another flower can add to the beauty.  

Each year, I try to get various different cherry blossom photos. I am not a photographer, just someone who loves flowers and enjoys taking photos. I don't edit my photos in recent years. At first, that was because I just didn't have the time. But recently, no word of a lie, I just prefer the natural look. As the season starts each year I make a mental list of the combinations I'd like to capture. Many of them are the same year on year, but occasionally I'll add a new combination.

This year I was dead keen to get a photo of cherry blossoms with baby blue eyes. Particularly as this is not always possible. Often the cherry blossoms have turned to green leaves before the baby blue eyes start to bloom. This year the cherry blossoms were late, but the baby blue eyes are blooming in line with an average year. I knew this year would be my chance to get baby blue contrasted against the soft pink of cherry blossoms.

Do you like to see cherry blossoms with other flowers? What is your favorite combination? I also love cherry blossoms with canola, hanadaikon or tulips too.
