right in front of me and said:

" Deep Pink "
I took a bike ride to Kyodo No Mori Park, yesterday.
It was a perfect day to be outside,
and the blossoms are magnificent!
It has been a mild winter,
so there are earlier blooms, this year...
To be honest, they felt right on time, to me.

" Hello "
Each year, I enter the park with no path in mind,
I just go where I feel inclined...
But I stepped somewhere different this time,
as when I turned the bend,
this refreshing image appeared :

At the entry/departing gate, there is a “weeping” plum tree,
with blooms the most delicate shade of pink :

I took advantage of the warm, sunny day,
to bicycle to Kyodo no Mori Park ,
for the “Ume Matsuri” ( Plum Blossom Festival.)
There were many open blossoms,
but it was still half-peak…
It wasn’t too crowded, I enjoyed the day…

I took advantage of the unseasonably warm temps, today!
I packed up my painting gear,
and bicycled out to Kyodo No Mori park…
Without a heavy coat, I was able to carry all my gear successfully.
I will return to the park again, very soon, just to linger,
and photograph the lovely blooms…
The season for plum blossoms at Kyodo No Mori
is Feb. 6th, ~ March 13th…

Yesterday I rode out on my bicycle,
to visit the spot where I was a year ago,
during the big earthquake,
on March 11, 2011.
The sun was out,
so I decided to continue out to the Kyodo no Mori Park,
for the Ume-Matsuri. (Plum Blossom Festival)
Due to the cold weather we've been experiencing,
the blooms are late; and the date of this event has been extended
to March 20th.
As of yesterday, the blossoms are just starting to open...
