Blue symphony

Where sky meets land, a photo by Ame 雨 on Flickr.

The day before yesterday I have been to Hitachi seaside park where Nemophilas are in full bloom now.
The park is really big and absolutely beautiful. It looked like there is no border between sky, land and sea! It was a complete blue world but that blue makes you happy :)

Cherry blossom (Sakura) in Japan this year

I had been thinking of writing about cherry blossom for long. But this year the cherry blossom stayed for the shortest time. It started twice earlier than expected, then the weather was really bad here in Tsukuba. It rained continually for days just when the sakura was in full bloom. I really wanted to go for hanami (see the flowers and eat, drink, have fun under sakura trees) this year but it seemed pretty impossible :-(

But I was desperate about taking some pictures of sakura this year since last year I couldn't do so. I went for a walk in a park nearby university and took some photos. But there were not a lot of sakura tress, so I wasn't fully satisfied.

Finally I went to Tokyo on a good weather day to meet my friend and visited Inokashira park for the first time. And it was absolutely beautiful there!!! So I will be sharing some pictures from that place today! Hope you'll like them :)

Guests for a while

Dandelions are so adorable! I'm absolutely in love with them! But they stay just for a while and then I have to wait again one more year for them...
Anyway, yesterday I discovered that a bunch of dandelions just appeared and suddenly the field in front of my dormitory has turned white! But there wasn't enough light yesterday..so some snaps today. Ain't they cute? :)

Spring harmony brought by Tulips!

Tulips are in full bloom in Japan now! I'm dying to visit tulip garden but have to wait till coming Golden Week holidays and hope they wait for me too!
This one is my first tulips photo of this year. In front of Tsukuba Station few tulips have bloomed, so I couldn't resist taking some snaps!
I will upload more photos when I visit tulip garden :)
