Three
weeks have passed since the beginning of 2019.
It
is still cold, but, but the day is getting longer. The sunshine is becoming
brighter.
I
walked in Hanegi Park in Umegaoka, where about 650 ume (Japanese apricot) trees
stand.
Some
trees opened flowers.
I
found red (top), white (2nd and 3rd), pink (4th) and yellow (left) flowers.
Cats
spent their times in the park.
Crows
and other birds were singing.
The
park will hold Ume festival in early February.
