Winter Scene and the 1st ume blossom @ Hanegi Park: Jan. 8th, 2011



















We have had chilly days after the start of a new year. Tokyo’s temperature went down to sub-zero and we had ice in the pond and water pool here and there.

I walked to Hanegi Park in Setagaya ward. The park is famous for its ume (Japanese plum) blossoms.

The Ume trees as well as gingko and other trees had no leaves. Brown color dominated the scope and it was typical winter scene.

However, I found white ume flowers open in a few trees. I did not expect to find a flower in new-year season. We usually have the ume blossom in February and March.



The sunset scene over the ume trees was beautiful.
