Cherry Blossom Under the Blue Sky

 

Around 7th in April, cherries were in full bloom this spring.

Each petal enjoys the sunshine in the silence.

The path under the trees are covered with white petals. It looks like a snowfall.

Cloudy days often meet the blooming season of cherry. The weather condition is not steady in the early April.

I saw the blue sky over the blossoms this day.

This kind is older than Someiyoshino, which is most popular in the world now. The branches grow downward like a willow.

We are still amid COVID-19, visitors were not many. People used to visit this park and enjoy karaoke, eat fried noodles and snacks or drink beer sold in stands set in the park. No event was held 2020 and 2021.

Young mothers took their children here this day. I was able to catch children's voices clearer than ever in this season.  

 

Same Splendid Views Again

 

One year has passed and we are enjoying cherry blossoms again.

This is the most popular and gorgeous kind "Somei Yoshino" that you can see many places in Japan.

Winds over the river are cooler than in town. Blossoms will be in full a few days later.

This shrine named Hoshinomiya Jinja is surrounded with tall cedar trees. This cherry is in full bloom.

I found this cherry in my new walking course. The cherry in woods gives me the feeling of a deeper calm.

It rained a bit next day. I love wet blossoms as well as those shining under the blue sky.
