家の近くの公園です。春は桜が満開になり、
子供連れのファミリーもたくさんいて
賑わっています。広いので、いい散歩になります(^^♪

宮島の紅葉谷の写真です。秋は紅葉、春は桜。色々な表情を見せてくれます。
みなさんもぜひ来てください。

今見頃の、梅の花を撮影しました。

鈴鹿山系を背景にした滋賀の山奥では、平地よりも遅い春をのんびり楽しめます

小豆島をドライブ中、国道436号沿い（小豆島町安田）で見事に河津桜が満開の農園があり、立ち寄ったところ、メジロがたくさん花に集まっていました。コンパクトカメラのズームで撮りました。

Ahhh I can't wait for the cherry blossoms to start blooming. Only about a week left I guess. Today was nice and warm in Tokyo so hopefully that's a continuing trend from here on out as I'm kind of done with the cold weather this year lol! The winter scenery was all really beautiful but I think it's time for spring already. I need to look into buying a new BBQ so I can visit some parks and just relax for a whole day while eating delicious food and admiring the cherry blossoms. Hopefully Shinjuku Gyoen is open around then cuz I think it's been closed for a bit now, we'll see though. Anyways Mishima Taisha looks really cool. I always love seeing a row of cherry blossoms creating a tunnel. I'll have to add it to my list of places to visit in Shizuoka!

風速３〜５m/s 快晴でした。

画角いっぱいまでスカイツリー&河津桜を置いて撮影

ピント合わせに苦戦したことを覚えています。 MFで合わせずAFで粘って粘って撮影 AF設定で新たに一つ学びが出来ました。

天候は無風で快晴でした。

日本を象徴する風景の一つではないでしょうか

桜にピントを合わせ撮影しました。

＃春 ＃桜
ようやく桜に蕾が確認できました。
今年は昨年に比べ寒かったので開花は遅れそうです

location 佐賀県 有田市

桜のトンネルがとても綺麗でした！

location 大分県 四浦半島

河津桜が綺麗に咲いてました！

この花は桜ではありません。まず春を告げる花と言えばやはり梅でしょう。山里の梅林を満開になるころ、私達は春の訪れを感じます。

日本の春を告げるはなといえば、やはり梅です。まだまだ残雪が残る3月上旬。既に春の気配は確実に近づいています。

池の湖畔の桜並木は、日本の代表的な春の光景といえるでしょう。

田んぼの休耕田は春にはレンゲ畑に生まれ変わります。レンゲの香りは子供たちの気分もうきうきと活性化させていきます。

私の近所の桜土手です。わざわざ観光地に桜を見に行かなくても、ちょっと注意すればご近所にも素晴らしいお花見場所が見つかります。

日本の春の花は桜だけではありません。この見事な桃の花をご覧ください。これぞ現世の桃源郷。

桜はソメイヨシノだけではありません。この見事な枝垂桜をご覧ください。

これぞ春の日常。日本ではふつうに近所の桜のある場所でお弁うを広げてお花見を楽しみます。

これぞ春の日常。日本では日時用の中に桜を代表する花が存在します。

Aghhh! I wish I got to get out and see some beautiful illuminations this winter but with everything happening in the world it wasn't exactly possible. Really wanted to check out the one in Hibiya but next year will have to do. I know a lot of events were canceled this winter as well but things can hopefully start opening up again as vaccines start rolling out around the country. Slow process for now, but hopefully it starts to speed up soon. I'd like to visit some flower parks this spring, I know there are a few that have illuminations as well and my girlfriend would love to visit them and see the cherry blossoms and wisteria, so if everything goes well hopefully we'll get the chance. That and I'm seriously missing going out to festivals, so hopefully we can get some of those soon!

萌芽
土の中から、フキノトウが芽吹いてきました。もう春です。

幸せの黄色い世界
立春を越え、ロウバイが満開に咲き誇っていました。黄色の世界がとても幻想的でした。

桜ツリー
満開の早咲き河津桜が、東京スカイツリーを包み込んでいました。

Wow I looked this place up and it's amazing! I'm surprised it doesn't seem as popular as other flower parks but it has some really beautiful scenery. There's a ton of different gardens all with different themes as well. Spring is coming soon so it's something to keep in mind I suppose! I've never heard of Tasha Tudor either but I'm curious to see what kind of picture books she wrote know. I love that Japan has a lot of these types of themed attractions so you can not only enjoy the location itself but also the history behind it or the history that it is brings to life. Hopefully I can get out to Gifu this spring/summer. The place is called "Flower Festival Commemorative Park" for anyone wondering.

河津桜と天の川

Made some Yokote style Yakisoba today. Reminded me of a cafe I went to back in Akita. Tasted pretty good and was nice since I haven't been able to visit any festivals lately and eat some of the tasty food from the stalls! Hoping There's some awesome stuff happening this spring. I want to get out and try all the food I've been missing out on and drink some plum wine under the cherry blossoms! Was a long, fun day today though, gonna get some sleep now?

Man that's beautiful. I read an article about this place on here as well. I really want to visit. The water is so clear it reminds me a lot of Oshino Hakkai, but I think the color of the water makes this place just a liiiiittle more beautiful. Although it's a pretty tough call lol. It's interesting how the article mentioned that the best time of year is fall to see the autumn leaves reflected on the surface of the water, but I bet spring would be just as beautiful. I guess it depends on if there's any cherry blossoms around the pond. I definitely saw maples though! I'll have to try the chimaki as well if I get the chance, I'd never heard of it until now.
