SAKURA

Cherry petals are everywhere.  The magical week of pink blossom seems to be over now.
Since I missed the season by being in Europe last year, I enjoyed all the aspects of it.




桜が咲くと、なぜかみんなが外に出てくる。普段、レストランにしかいかなさそうな人たちも、シートを持ち出しておにぎりを食べたり、果てはテーブルセットを持ち出して、焼き肉をしたり!



休日は、屋台と人でごった返している川沿いも、平日はちょっと静かで、アオサギがさかなとり。



I like the cherry blossom in the city but I love them more in the mountain.  Only during this season, you can spot cherry trees from a distance.   Every tree species has its own special colour in the spring pastel carpet:  pale pink of Hill Cherry, white of Oshima Cherry, chartreuse green of Sawtooth Oak and lime green of another kind of oak.
