Sakura Photos (Spring 2005)


Ack.... trip to the park was nice, but I'm left with my system clogged up by pollen and whatever else was in the air over there. ×_× There were.... a LOT of people. Kinda felt like the morning rush all over again, but that can't be helped... sakura only blossoms for a few days. Thank goodness today was one of the earlier ones... the wind was blowing so hard that if I'd gone a day later, all the petals would be gone~ The early morning was cold, dark and cloudy... Wished with all my might for a clear sunny day, and what'dya know... at noon the clouds were gone, and it was 23 degrees with an azure sky all over Tokyo.... :o

Snapped... many, many photographs, but only chose a few to put online. For one... it was TOO BRIGHT this afternoon, so the color balance of many snaps were just way off. Secondly, there were just too many people getting into the frame at odd places (eg half a head, a random arm etc popping up at one side of the photograph argh)... oh well... tired... very tired, still have some homework... (oh dear).

BUT! In any case. do enjoy the photographs. I'm saving one last one (I think it's my best shot for today) for some other time ; )




Caw?



Shinjuku Gyouen (Park in downtown Tokyo)





Sakura = Japanese wanna party/ picnic beneath the trees... lots of em. o_O





It was a fine day~ a little TOO fine x_X perspired for the first time in months~





This park's right smack in the middle of bustling Tokyo~





The park ground, all pinkish~







o_O This must be what birds see when they perch in cherry blossom trees at this time... how chaotic...





Sakura tree with its branches hanging over a small lake



Around the neighborhood





The station I go to everyday to get to Shinjuku~ Nice place~





The tree in the previous picture, with its sakura up close~





Near a local hospital. For some reason the sky here looks... huge... oO





Expensive residential district~





Sakura in front of some roadside shops~

Wahhh, it makes me homesick. There are a lot of cherry blossoms back at home. I'm going to have to miss them bloom.

Woooo where's home?! I've heard of some areas in the US having sakura, are they native or originally from Japan?

Home is San Francisco. Japan sent them sakuras, and Frisco sent Japan something, I forget what, exactly. So they aren't native to the US, but they bloom quite happily there.

Eh? They seem pretty white to me.
Any pinkish ones?

All of them were, but because of the strong sunlight rendered them white in my pictures... like I said, my camera didn't do it no good

Can't see the crow's face, really...

3rd last... The clouds look like the aura of the tree

Shinjuku station looks pretty at this time.

O_o It was a very bright day wasn't it?

Pretty pics though... Reminds someone that it's really spring over there. That and.... well, summer is coming...
