Cherry Blossom

I live near Shimane university and  its yard has many cherry trees.  Now, I can see lots of cherry blossoms but unfortunately it was raining today so many petals have fallen. I think the most of cherry trees will be bare by the time of the entrance ceremony.

Looking back at my school days, cherry blossoms went along with the school entrance ceremony but not these days. One of the reasons is global warming. That has made cherry trees blooms earlier than before. How about in your town?
