Winter trees & Ume Blossom; February 7, 2016





It is the coldest season of the year in Tokyo. The temperature sometimes goes down under zero, and people wear heavy overcoats. However, the daytime is getting longer.

Today was a fine day and I had a walk around Setagaya ward, western Tokyo.

I saw tulip trees, ginkgo trees and other deciduous trees stood along the walk paths and in the park. The sky was very blue behind the trees.

The Ume or Japanese apricot flowers began to blossom in the Hanegi Park.

They were in some temples and shrines, too.

I found a cat and parrots enjoying the sunlight.

It was a nice walk.
