People walk down Park Place near Baker University Center, under blooming Cherry Blossoms, on April 4, 2010.

Cherry blossoms stand in bloom near the Hocking River and the Convo on April 4, 2010. Many people gathered to take photos and see the flowers while they are in bloom. The flowers reach full bloom in about a week's time and the flowers will fall about a week later. If it rains, the blooms may fall faster.

Michael McAvoy, an enginer, takes photos of cherry blossom trees. He first learned of the trees while on a trip to Japan.
