These flowers were blooming at the foot of a tree in front of the office... What are they?
Spring at last! So, I decided to go see the cherry blossoms!
I went to a place called Sakura Shuku Gawa in Hyogo Prefecture. There were a bunch of people eating rice balls, drinking beer and playing cards under the blooming cherry trees.
I picked a tree, spread out a plastic sheet to sit on, opened up a bottle of spring water and some snacks and started to read with the sounds of laughing children and quite a few tipsy adults as BGM.
I wanted to read a book that would fit with my surroundings...so I chose:
Those are not my hands, by the way.
I took more pictures of the cherry blossoms. Today I have only posted the ones I took from my i-phone because I have misplaced my camera cord thingy... argh.
Tomorrow I am off to Tokyo for meetings. Will be spending half my day in a hotel room getting ready for the meeting and doing an online crash course on how to use PowerPoint.
I also need to get my picture taken somewhere because I have forgotten (yet again) to renew my passport. Yikes!
Happy Easter, happy spring and happy reading!
