The Blooming Cherry Blossoms In Japan Look Downright Magical

Time to book a flight.

Of the many signs of spring, blooming cherry blossom trees are by far the most beautiful.

People rush to Washington, D.C. in droves to see the fleeting blooms there -- they last just about 10 days -- thanks to a gift of 3,000 trees from Japan in 1912.

A last-minute trip to Japan to see the original trees probably isn't in the cards for many of us. Luckily, photographer Hidenobu Suzuki has provided an absolutely stunning look at the blossoms currently popping up all over Japan.
