Cherry Blossom Festival 2011 - The Shoes

Saturday I dropped by the Birmingham Botanical Gardens for the Japan-America Society of Alabama's annual Cherry Blossom Festival.  Today and in the days to come, I will share some images with you. Today's photograph was taken just outside the tearoom where a tea ceremony was in progress.  A reminder of the extreme loss that many of the participants are feeling and thoughts of the people of Japan.
