This was taken in Komaba Park, a 10 minute bike ride from our home. This park is surrounded with a 360 degree view of sakura (cherry trees).
Rhett wondering what all the fuss is all about!?!
Mia ready to get a game started. You will notice that the park is pretty empty. Two days later, at the height of the blossoms opening, it was standing room only. People had their tarps spread out, tables, chairs, and food and drink galore. I compare cherry blossom viewing to the 4th of July in America...one huge party. In this case, the party lasts for about two weeks.
The next day my friend Margaret from Alaska came to visit us. We went to the Naka Meguro canal to view the sakura.
Albeit jet-lagged, she was happy to be surrounded by the first blush of spring. Sakura, sakimashita ne?
