Cherry Blossoms

A highly anticipated sign of spring in Stockholm is the cherry blossoms in Kungsträdgården (king's garden/city park).  This year the trees bloomed for the last two weeks of April.  The blooming of the cherry trees is like the unofficial opening of Kungsträdgården for the spring/summer season.  Crowds of people hang out photographing the blossoms and each other, fill the little sidewalk cafes lining the park and cover the green spaces when it's sunny. From now through the fall there are a wide variety of festivals almost every day in Kungsträdgården.
