Cherry Blossom Festival Gypsy

Gypsy was decked out for the Petal Porches event, when people are urged to decorate their houses as part of the month-long Cherry Blossom Festival celebrated all around the city.

Thanks to Liz for reminding me that Instagram has pictures of Gypsy dressed up for the festival in prior years, although I do think this particular getup is a bit odd.

She must get to shop a lot with all her outfits. She looks great in her strawberry shortcake costume. V

That is a weird getup for the Cherry Blossom Festival. I see that these decorations are some sort of contest, but I doubt Gypsy's owners will win it this year. They did I much nicer job in decorating with Gypsy for the Cherry Blossom Festival in past years. The year with the Japanese fans was particularly pretty. This year, they seem to be doing more of a strawberry theme. Is there a strawberry festival, too??? I'm not sure what is on Gypsy's head. Seeing Gypsy through your lens has been fun. You should try shooting her at night when the little lights, wrapped around her, are on.

Hmmm. Don't see a whole lot that speaks to me of cherry blossoms! Perhaps they get more comments that way!

Strawberries have sneaked into the Festival... perhaps invited by cherries. Both are very rich!
The photography is quite attractive. V

Very colorful but, by the looks of the fence decor it is for the strawberry festival.

Yes, not quite sure what it is supposed to be, but very eye-catching and colourful anyway!! Great shot. V

I guess they figured any red fruit would be OK. Nice to see Gypsy enjoying the festival.

A most unique front yard; it lends itself to cool shots!

Looks more like a strawberry, but I give them credit for partaking in the festivities!
