Buds and flowers: Feb 16, 2019




We have cycles of cold days and warm days in this season.

Today was warm and I walked around Setagaya area in western Tokyo.

The ume (Japanese apricot) blossom is at peak now in Tokyo. They opened ume festival in Hanegi Park in Umegaoka.
There are about 600 ume trees there. (see also the top photo)

Open-air flower shops were open.

The buds of cherry trees began to grow. I walked under the rows of cherry trees along the Kitazawa walk path. We will enjoy cherry blossom in a month or two. (see also the 2nd photo from the top)

I also found catkins of pussy willow.

The season is turning from winter to spring.
