The cherry blossom season in my area is over. Among them, there are still some left, and I took a picture today. This is not an SLR, but an Android smartphone (SHARP S5-SH).

Cherry blossoms blooming like a river in the neighborhood. It is not lit up, but a street lamp or the light of a passing car. This year's cherry blossoms went by so fast.

It's been a long time since I posted it. I was wondering if I should stop it. (laughs) This is the local cherry blossoms. Taken on my way home from work. It is not lit up, only the street lamp nearby.

It is a community center and cherry blossoms in Tamba City, Hyogo Prefecture. The old-fashioned wooden architecture goes well with the stunning cherry blossoms.

This photo was taken on the roadside in Tamba City, Hyogo Prefecture. Jizo where you can feel the four seasons with snow piled up and autumn leaves shining behind you. In spring, it is a very good atmosphere with cherry blossoms in the background.

Continuing from yesterday, this photo was taken at a hidden spot at the Koshien Exit in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture. The bees are at work.

I went to the Koshien exit of Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, a very famous cherry blossom spot in the local area. The cherry blossom tunnel is a stunning place, but it is still far from being in full bloom. Some of the cherry blossoms were in bloom, so I took a picture 📷 with the birds that came to play.

Imazu Kokanzakura in Daito Park, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture. It was taken a while ago, and it must have been scattered now. It has a different beauty from Somei Yoshino. Shot in backlight.

Just like yesterday, in a certain place in Nishinomiya City. It is slightly trimmed from the original. This year's cherry blossoms are early. It will disperse quickly, though. Last year was a good year because I was able to enjoy the cherry blossoms for a very long time. If there is no corona ...

Very poor and rude compared to what you guys put up. A certain place in Nishinomiya City. It's a hidden cherry blossom spot, but it's starting to bloom. We practice blue sky here every Saturday, Sunday, and holiday. I'm 🌸 looking forward to cherry blossoms for a while!

This is also the Koto plum forest. There were many varieties. It's hard to take pictures of plums... If it's cherry blossoms, they're blooming, so it's deceptive. (laughs)

Koto Bailin, this is a photo I took a while ago. I went to this famous plum spot for the first time this year, but apparently there was no time for full bloom this year. I went there three times, but no matter when I went, I thought, "When is the best time to see it?" Looking forward to next year.

At Daito Park in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture. I was 📷 playing happily

Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, Muko River riverbed. Every year at this time of year, I look at the rape flower field and feel the arrival of spring. This year, in particular, it was blooming beautifully.

At Daito Park in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture. It is a cold cherry tree called "Imazu Red Kanzakura" that was certified as a new variety in 2018. Photographed on March 14, 2021. The peak had passed, but it was still blooming beautifully.

At Koto Plum Grove in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture. It is a famous place for plum groves and plum gardens in the local area, but there is news that this year it will end without reaching full bloom.

I really love seeing these massive fireworks displays and this one is really incredible. Just comparing the height of the fireworks to the height of the builds in the city you can get an idea of just how large-scale this fireworks show is. I know the Minato Kobe Marine Fireworks Festival is in October but I'm hoping to see some fireworks this spring at least. I know summer is a little far off but there's definitely going to be fireworks then, that's for sure. I remember the one trip I went to Kobe I didn't get to see these amazing fireworks, but I was able to dry some delicious Kobe Beef burgers that were really just incredible. I would have liked to go to a steak restaurant but it didn't really fit our itinerary. It ended up working out though, as the burgers were great!

Wow! I know Himeji has some awesome things like Himeji Castle of course, but to just find this while going for a walk, how cool is that! Speaking of Himeji Castle, I wish I could have see nthe projection mapping event they had there in 2015? I think it was. Hopefully they do something like that again because I'd love to go and see it for myself. I envy anyone who got to see it in person😂 I really like the stone lanterns and small Buddhist statues in this photo as well, it really gives that temple feel. I'll have to be on the lookout for this place when I visit Himeji!

Wow this is beautiful. If there's one thing I'm going to miss come spring it's going to be all of the beautiful winter photography that I've had the pleasure of seeing this year. That being said I'm sure spring will be just as beautiful thanks to all the greenery and cherry blossoms coming to life. This photo is really cool though. Before I zoomed in it looked like some historical castle townscape covered in snow but then upon closer inspection it's a modern area with modern homes. The river is cool too, it reminds me of a moat separating a castle from its town at this angle and probably because of the cobblestone. The mountain backdrop is really amazing too, I suppose that's maybe where the mine cart runs to? Guess I'll have to visit Asago to find out!
