Summary: As I do each year, I took some time to visit nearby Lake Balboa Park today to see the Japanese Cherry trees that bloom around the lake each year. We are in a drought year, so the bloom is not as vibrant has it has been in the past, but there was still many blossoms to photograph and video. Here are a video montage from this year's trip. You can view a collection of photos from this trip in this past post -- Photos: Cherry Blossoms at Lake Balboa 2014
